We programmed all the basic 2-D shapes Using the Editor. Then in the commander we could make repetitions of the shapes to create patterns. When making repetitions of the shape, ensure that the number of repetitions and the angle through which the shape is turned multiple to make 360 degrees i.e. repeat 10 [square rt 36]

- Repeat 12 [square rt 30]
- Repeat 30 [square rt 12]
- Repeat 36 [square rt 10]
Repeated pattern created using a hexagon:
- Repeat 10 [hexagon rt 36]

Once you have completed a pattern using repetitions, press the print screen key on the computer keyboard. This copies the image onto the clipboard, next open Microsoft Paint and click on the paste function. Crop the image so that you have a black and white pattern. Use the fill-can tool to fill your shapes creating nice patterns.
Take a look at some of the patterns we created in Microsoft Paint. You can leave MSW Logo minimized on the toolbar and switch between the two programmes as your experiment with different amounts of repetitions to created detailed patterns.
