1. A pattern making method comprising: acquiring into memory of a computer, a multiplicity of different two-dimensional image slices of a human form; selecting by a processor of the computer, a panel of a portion of a pattern of a garment; acquiring by the processor of the computer a measurement of the one of the two-dimensional image slices; mapping the acquired measurement to the selected panel; retrieving a metric computation rule for both the measurement and the selected panel; applying by the processor of the computer the retrieved metric computational rule using the acquired measurement to produce a measurement for the selected panel; and including the selected panel with produced measurement in a printable form of the selected panel.
