Claim:
A method for producing a patterned fabric having weft threads and warp threads that form an illustration, the method comprising the steps of: preparing an image; image breakdown of the illustration to be woven into pixels consisting of at least four selected basic colors; setting up a weaving program for a Jacquard weaving machine; and weaving the fabric on the Jacquard weaving machine, the breakdown of the illustration including storing each basic color in pixels with a color depth of 8 bits in each case in a separate bitmap, reducing the color depth to 2 bits for each basic color, offsetting the bitmaps of the basic colors in each case by an amount of one pixel and subsequently assembling the pixels to form a further bitmap having the basic colors, the weaving program for the Jacquard machine being set up to provide for using irregular weaves without weave repeat repetitions, the weaving step including inserting the weft threads as a thread group and tying off the weft threads in a cell which is formed by at least two warp threads and two weft threads by means of a weave without repeat repetition.
