How to Get the Pattern Tile?

Open luxlogica opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

I use Sketch for designing website prototypes, which I then pass on to the frontend programmer. When I use any images - such as in a patterned background - I need to send the image file to the programmer.

How can I get the image file for the pattern tile that was randomly pulled in through your plugin?

I feel like I'm overlooking something basic, but for the life of me I can't work out how to do this!

All of the images are pulled from SubtlePatterns repo into here.

A simplistic way would be to Export or Layer -> Flatten Selection To Bitmap. This wouldn't match up correctly unless the dimensions are correct and these vary between images.

I'll need to check to see if there's a better way of exposing or finding this out.
