The Weaving Information Format stores information used to describe a weave, such as the structure of a weaving draft and related loom settings. It is a data format for weaving information rather than a conventional bitmap or other rendered image.
WIF is used as a standard interchange format among compatible weaving software programs. Its structured contents are also intended to be understandable to people who need to inspect or exchange weaving information.
Patternland Weave Simulator supports WIF files on Microsoft Windows. The format is most useful when moving weaving designs between compatible applications, although support for individual WIF features can vary between programs.
Open the file with Patternland Weave Simulator on Microsoft Windows. A different weaving application can open it only if that application supports the Weaving Information Format.
Because WIF files contain structured weaving data, a text editor may display their contents, but it will not provide the tools needed to view or edit the design as a weaving draft.
WIF is used for data exchange, so some conversion may be possible with compatible weaving software. To convert the design, open the file in Patternland Weave Simulator or another compatible weaving application and use that program's supported import and export options.
When converting between weaving programs, check the resulting draft because features not supported by the destination format may not be preserved.
