Mustergenerator

A Mustergenerator is a device or software that creates repeating or structured patterns, motifs, or data templates. The term is used in German-speaking contexts and can refer to pattern generators in textiles, graphic design, software testing, or signal generation.

In textiles and design, a Mustergenerator generates repeating motifs and textures. It is often parameterizable, with controls for motif size, color palette, symmetry, and tiling rules, allowing designers to explore variations quickly.

In computing and data science, a Mustergenerator describes software that produces synthetic data sets, images, or sequences according to defined rules. It supports deterministic output with fixed seeds or stochastic variation, enabling testing, demos, and prototyping.

In practice, Mustergenerators combine rule-based generation with procedural or parameterized models. They may export to common formats and integrate with existing workflows for design, testing, or research.
