Hi.
I want to draw a design for the king, queen and jack of a deck of playing cards.
The typical design of playing cards features so-called 'rotational symmetry'. From what I can see none of the symmetry options for painting provide rotational symmetry, only direct mirroring.
Of course there are plenty of ways I can do it manually, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to apply it in real time, automatically (like the other symmetrical painting options do).
What I want, if it's a bit hard to picture: if I have an empty rectangle and I paint a blob in the top right corner, I want that same blob to appear in the bottom left corner. Using the normal symmetry options the blob would appear in the bottom right (if using a horizontal axis) or top left (if using a vertical axis). The design needs to be symmetrical after rotating the rectangle 180deg.
Thanks.
Ha, never mind. Just figured it out.
Using the Radial Symmetry option and setting the Segment Count to 2 works.
