The hardest part of creating a pattern for things to be displayed dynamically is getting an equation that works.

For instance if you wanted to make a diagonal line you would just place the x and y values to the x and y values of the MC before it plus the mc before its with and height respectivly.

I am sure there are equations out there for various patterns, maybe try a google search.
