Abstract
This research introduced Symsdraw, a lightweight desktop application for creating radial symmetry-based patterns. The system supported geometric primitives, pens, closed area colouring, and rotational replication up to high orders through transformations. The interface placed all controls on the top ribbon (colour, thickness, number of sectors, and canvas dimensions) so that the workflow was straightforward: draw one example on the reference sector, review the replication preview, then colour and export. Results showed that the combination of core parameters is sufficient to generate consistent layered motifs, with anti-aliasing maintaining readability at high sector counts. In addition to generating digital patterns, Symsdraw line templates are effective as a medium for colour play, and colour variations can be evaluated in a focused manner.
