Pattern

Image → generative artwork

Takes a logo or image and turns it into generative artwork: repeating tiles, a kaleidoscope-style texture, or a patterned background you can use for branding.

How it works

Pattern is a creative node, not a document tool. You feed it one image, usually a logo or icon, and it multiplies and arranges it into decorative artwork rather than leaving it as a single picture.

The output can look like tiled wrapping paper, a kaleidoscope texture, or a soft branded backdrop, depending on the style you pick. It is useful when you want on-brand visuals (a cover background, a header graphic, packaging texture) generated from art you already own.

Think of it as a design step that sits off to the side of your usual paperwork flows. It produces an image, so whatever comes next is typically storing that image or placing it onto something else.

Common use cases

Real situations where this node earns its place in a flow.

Turn a logo into a pattern

Generate tiled artwork from a mark for use as a background or cover.

Make a subtle backdrop

Produce a repeating pattern to sit behind a document or certificate.

On-brand graphics

Generate decorative artwork from a source image for marketing pieces.

Pattern in a workflow

A simple example of where this node sits in a flow.

What you set up

Supply the source image (your logo or icon works best) from an upload or an earlier step.
Pick the pattern style, such as repeating tiles or a kaleidoscope-style texture.
Send the resulting artwork on to be stored or dropped onto another design.

Common questions

Is this for processing documents?

No. Pattern is a branding and design node. It makes decorative artwork from an image, so reach for it when you want visuals, not when you are handling forms or reports.

What kind of image should I feed it?

A clean logo, mark, or simple icon gives the best repeating results. Busy photos tend to turn muddy once they are tiled or mirrored.

Settings you configure on this node, stored under data.config in the workflow JSON. Leave a field unset to use its default.

`arrangement`	enum: grid \| brick \| hex \| radial \| concentric \| spiral \| mirror	`grid`	Geometric layout used to place the sprite copies.
`background`	string	`transparent`	Canvas background color; empty or 'none' means transparent.
`scale`	number	`1`	Per-sprite scale multiplier.
`opacity`	number	`1`	Per-sprite opacity from 0 to 1.
