Patterns Directory

Generated .pat files live in the patterns/ directory of the maDisplayTools repository. Only curated reference patterns are tracked in git — everything else is generated on demand.

Tracked directories

• reference/ — Curated “out of box” patterns for lab testing.
  • G41_2x12_cw/ — 12 experiment patterns (gratings, counters, luminance).
• web_generated/ — Web roundtrip test reference patterns (8 files plus a manifest).

Gitignored (regenerate as needed)

All other subdirectories hold user-generated patterns and are gitignored. Regenerate with:

• tests/create_g41_experiment_patterns.m — G4.1 experiment set.
• The Pattern Generator GUI — interactive pattern creation.
