=====Description=====

'''DT Online''' has created online tools which will full-size patterns for several basic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_types '''Designs of Kite'''] and their variations. They are:

* '''[[Box_Kite_Construction#Designer|Box Kite Designer]]''' - '''[[CAD|Parametric]]''' design tool.
* '''[[Delta_Kite_Construction#Designer|Delta Kite Designer]]''' - '''[[CAD|Parametric]]''' design tool.
* '''[[Diamond,_Eddy_or_Malay_Kite_Construction#Designer|Diamond, Eddy or Malay Kite Designer]]''' - '''[[CAD|Parametric]]''' design tool.
* '''[[Sled_Kite_Construction#Designer|Sled Kite Designer]]''' - '''[[CAD|Parametric]]''' design tool.

=====Features and Applications=====

The '''DT Online Kite Designers''' enable a single input of '''Spar''' or '''Spine''' length to determine a complete kite design based in a series of default proportions built into a table as <variables>. Each default is set as a '''Percentage''' of the main '''Spar''' or '''Spine''' length. These default proportions may be changed if required by clicking inside the table cell and entering a new value. The entry may be numeric or typed in as one of the other <variable> names ''(e.g. <MaxWidthPercent> could be set to 100 or to <SpineLength> to create a kite as wide as it is long)''.
----
'''Notes:'''
* '''Left Click''' on the '''Edit Icon''' to '''Show''' or '''Hide''' the '''Table of Variables'''.
* If required, '''Left Click''' any of the variables in the table, delete its default value and type in a new one.
* Enter the new value to redraw the '''Net''' or '''Pattern''' at its new size.
* '''Left''' or '''Right Click''' on the screen display or use '''Scroll Wheel''' to alter view and '''Left Click''' on '''Zoom Icon''' to reset it.
* Refreshing or reloading the page will reset all variables to their default values
----
* '''[[Box_Kite_Construction#Designer|Box Kite Designer]]'''
** The main variable in the table for '''Box Kite Designer''' is the total length of the '''Kite Spar''' ''(i.e. <SparLength> set initally to 1200mm)
** Almost all other dimensions are derived as a '''Percentage of the Spar Length''' ''(e.g the length of the side of square forming the 'box', i.e <BoxPercent>, is set initally as equal to 30% of the <SparLength>)''.
** All '''Percentages''' initially are based on the variable <SparLength> but all can be changed by clicking in the table and typing in a new '''Percentage''' ''(e.g. if only a single pair of centrally placed Cross Spars are needed then set <TopCrossPercent> and <BottomCrossPercent> each to be 50%)''
** '''Winged Box Kites''' are created by altering the variables: <WingTopWidthPercent>, <WingBottomWidthPercent>, <WingTopApexPercent>, and <WingBottomApexPercent>.
* '''[[Delta_Kite_Construction#Designer|Delta Kite Designer]]'''
** The main variable in the table for '''Delta Kite Designer''' is the total length of the '''Kite Spine''' ''(set initally to 1200mm)
** Almost all other dimensions are derived as a '''Percentage of the Spine Length''' ''(e.g the total '''Width''', the variable <MaxWidthPercent> is set initally as twice the <SpineLength> - or 200%)''.
** All '''Percentages''' initially are based on the variable <SpineLength> but all can be changed by clicking in the table and typing in a new '''Percentage''' ''(e.g. to make a more pointed '''Delta''' by reducing the <MaxWidthPercent>)''.
* '''[[Diamond,_Eddy_or_Malay_Kite_Construction#Designer|Diamond, Eddy or Malay Kite Designer]]'''
** The main variable in the table for '''Diamond, Eddy or Malay Kite Designer''' is the total length of the '''Kite Spine''' ''(set initally to 1200mm).
** Almost all other dimensions are derived as a '''Percentage of the Spine Length''' ''(e.g the total '''Width''', <MaxWidthPercent>, is set initally as equal to the <SpineLength> - or 100%)''.
** All '''Percentages''' initially are based on the variable <SpineLength> but all can be changed by clicking in the table and typing in a new '''Percentage''' ''(e.g. to make a square '''Diamond''' increase the <CrossSparTopPercent> to 50%)''.
* '''[[Sled_Kite_Construction#Designer|Sled Kite Designer]]'''
** The main variable in the table for '''Sled Kite Designer''' is the total length of the '''Kite Spar''' ''(set initally to 1200mm).
** Almost all other dimensions are derived as a '''Percentage of the Spar Length''' ''(e.g the total '''Width''', the variable <MaxWidthPercent>, is set initally as equal to the variable <SparLength> - or 100%)''.
** '''Parallel Spars''' are generated by setting the variable <BottomWidthPercent> to be equal to <TopWidthPercent>.
** All '''Percentages''' initially are based on the variable <SparLength> but all can be changed by clicking in the table and typing in a new '''Percentage''' ''(e.g. the Leading Edge can be straightened by setting the variable <BridleTopPercent> to zero or made pointed by setting to a minus number)''.
