About the App

This application is designed as an educational utility, especially for lessons involving math-infused art. It was created as a free resource to help users quickly make artistic patterns with a variation of the Vedic square. Magic squares in a broader sense have numerous variations and certain properties that define them.

A Vedic square is a variation on a multiplication table, usually 9 x 9 but may be any size, where the entry in each cell is the digital root of the multiplication products.

The square in the studio is 10 x 10, omits row and column headings, and includes zeroes. The process of finding the digital sums is illustrated below as the studio is made to get right to the point of making patterns. Hundreds of patterns may be made from this one square, many of which contain an assortment of geometric shapes and familiar symbols. When satisfied, users may paste their patterns into an image program to crop or add effects with filters, textures, and other tools before printing. Creations can be used for Desktop wallpaper tiles, web site backgrounds, quilting, or to make templates for any craft project that calls for patterns.
