ALGORITHM 2 - ABSTRACTION REDRAW:

SET UP:
NUMBER THE LINES FROM THE ABSTRACTION
                           HERE DONE WAISTBAND THE LEFT TO RIGHT (FRONT THEN
                        BACK)
                 DECIDE THE BASE MEASURMENTS TO BE USED WITH THE SCALE
               RATIO LATER
                           HERE AS 90CM HEIGHT FOR LEG PIECES AND 36CM WIDTH FOR
                        WAISTBAND  
INTERPRETING THE DATA:













THE ALGORITHM -                              
X = RELEVANT NUMBER FOR THIS STEP

         1. SCLAE - X / 2 WHEN X < 5
                    THE SCALE (AT THIS POINT, LENGTH) OF THIS LINE SHOULD
                    BE X DIVIDED BY 2, IF X IS GREATER THAN 5 THEN THIS
                    SHAPE SHOULD BE DELETED AS THE SCALE IS TOO LARGE
                    (THIS CAN BE AN OPTIONAL PARAMETER)
          2. ROTATE - BY X TIMES 60O CLOCKWISE
                    ROTATE THE LINE THROUGH 60O  CLOCKWISE X TIMES,
                    KEEP ROTATING EVEN IF X IS GREATER THAN 6
        
3. MULTIPLY - BY X
                    
MULTIPLY THE SHAPE BY X SO THAT THERE WILL BE X
                    IDENTICAL LINES NEXT TO EACH OTHER, DRAW EQUALLY
                    SPACED TO THE RIGHT OF THE FIRST LINE SO THAT THE
                    EDGES LINE UP HORIZONTALLY, IF THE FIRST LINE IS  
                    HORIZONTAL, LINE UP VERTICALLY AND DRAW DOWN
          4. PERPENDICULAR - + X / 2 FROM CENTRE WHEN X IS EVEN
                  
ADD X/2 LINES THAT ARE PERPENDICULAR TO THE
                    EXISTING LINES, THEY SHOULD BE THE SAME SCALE AND
                    PLACED SO THAT THE CENTRE OF THE TWO GROUPS OF
                    LINES IS THE SAME, IF PERPENDICULAR LINES ARE ADDED
                    THE INDIVIDUAL LINES ARE NO LONGER SEPARATE
                    REPEATED SHAPES, THEY ARE ONE WHOLE GRID SHAPE
          5. ALIGNMENT - ROTATE 90O CLOCKWISE WHEN X IS ODD
                  
IF X IS ODD, THE ALIGNMENT OF THE WHOLE SHAPE SHOULD
                   BE CHANGED BY ROTATING IT 90O CLOCKWISE, IF X IS EVEN
                   THIS STEP SHOULD BE SKIPPED
          6. HEIGHT:WIDTH - STEP 1 : 1 / X
                  
GENERATE A RATION FOR THE SIZE OF THE SHAPE USING
                   THE SCALE FROM STEP 1 AS THE HEIGHT AND 1/X AS THE  
                   WIDTH, TO GET THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS, INPUT A VALUE
                   FOR THE HEIGHT OF THE PART OF THE GARMENT THAT THIS
                   PIECE IS PART OF ( E.G. 86 CM FOR ALL PIECES THAT ARE
                   TROUSER LEGS IN RATIO 1:1/4 WOULD BE 86CM BY 21.5CM)
          7. COMBINE - YES WHEN X < 2
                
  WHEN X IS LESS THAN 2, COMBINE THE MEASUREMENTS OF
                   ALL SHAPES IN THE PATTERN PIECE TO EQUAL THAT
                   DECIDED BY THE RATIO, WHEN X IS GREATER THAN 2, APPLY
                   THE RATIO MEASUREMENTS TO EACH SHAPE INDIVIDUALLY
                   (E.G. 5 SHAPES WITH MEASUREMENTS 86CM:21.5CM IF X > 2
                   WOULD BE 5 SHAPES 86CM:4.3CM - LINED UP HORIZONTAL -
                   OR 17.2CM:21.5CM - LINED UP VERTICAL - IF  X<2)
