This project, developed using the C programming language and the MiniLibX library, is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Palestinian embroidery. Inspired by the remarkable work of Tirazain in digitizing and preserving traditional Palestinian embroidery patterns, known as Tatreez, this program brings these intricate designs to life in the digital world.

Palestinian embroidery, with its detailed patterns and vibrant history, has been a significant medium of expression and identity for centuries. Each pattern tells a unique story, rich with cultural significance and historical context. The digitization efforts by Tirazain not only help in preserving these patterns but also make them accessible to a global audience, thus promoting a deeper appreciation of Palestinian culture.

• Demonstrate the Beauty of Palestinian Embroidery: The program recreates these designs programmatically, highlighting the intricacy and artistry of Palestinian embroidery patterns.

• Bridge Tradition with Modern Technology: This project illustrates the synergy between traditional art and contemporary technology.

• Educate and Inspire: I hope to educate viewers about Palestinian culture through these digital representations and inspire them to explore the traditions behind these patterns.

• Contribute to Cultural Preservation: This work aligns with the broader goal of preserving cultural heritage and supports initiatives like Tirazain's in keeping traditional arts alive in our modern world.

• Expand and Enhance: Currently, the program visualizes one of the designs from Tirazain. Moving forward, I plan to add more features and create as many designs as possible, continuously evolving the project.

• Programming Language: C
• Graphics Library: MiniLibX,standart c libraries
• Files: .h,.c,Makefile

I am deeply grateful to Tirazain for their inspiring initiative in preserving Palestinian embroidery patterns. Their dedication to cultural preservation has been a guiding light in my efforts to contribute to this rich and beautiful tradition.
