The dedicated Leonardo software

WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF THE LEONARDO SOFTWARE?

  • Replication of the same pattern (settings in rows and columns, and adjustment of spacing)
  • Realignment of successive patterns or on microstructures (preview, rotation)
  • Gradient management

HOW ARE PATTERNS DRAWN?

We recommend drawing patterns using the Inkscape® software (open source vector design software similar to Adobe Illustrator®), for which a user guide is available here. This software creates drawings in both pixels and millimeters and saves them in different formats recognized by the Leonardo software.

WHAT IMAGE FILE FORMATS CAN BE USED?

The image file formats used to generate protein patterns must be in tif (pixels) or pdf (metric) format.
