Ok here is how to do this cool thing called a tesselation, or repeated image, heres a screenie of what one looks like :http://[IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c327/meethefudgers/weird.jpg (having trouble veiwing the image? click this link:) ) http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c327/meethefudgers/weird.jpg

1) OK, first open up paint.

2) Next make a rectangle of any color.

3) click the little star at the top of the screen (the star is made up of dotted lines), then click the cube in the BOTTOM rectangle (that the BOTTOM one) the two rectangles are in the middle of the screen on the left.

4) now, out of the bottom of the rectangle, cut out a shape, any shape you want and slowly move it to the top of the rectangle THIS IS IMPORTANT : make sure that the cut shape touches the very outside of the rectangle, if it is too far in, i-t w-i-l-l n-o-t w-o-r-k, trust me i know.

5) do the same as step 4, but with the side of the rectangle.

6) *optional* make fun designs on your rectangle! (well it was a rectangle, now you have some weird shape thingie.)

7) Clik the dotted RECTANGLE at the top of the screen. clik the cube in the bottom rectangle on the left of the screen as you did in step 3. Copy your new image (with the rectangle thing) and paste it again.

8) change the color of your new image.

9)with the rectangle again copy and slide your image to fit perfectly into your original image. Now, copy both of your images as one. Your almost Done!

10) Keep pasting your side by side images next to each other and up and down. Eventually youll have a tesselation.

Well theres a tesselation in 10 easy steps. If you guys make one post a link on this thread to show me.:) Thank you for your time:D :D

The "BOTTOM RECTANGLE" is the draw opaque option. Anything in your selection that is the background color (white by default) will be ignored if this is turned off. So, if you've got black in the selection and your background color is black, all of the black within the selection will be transparent as long as the draw opaque option is turned off.


Not sure if you knew that...
