  These options are described in Secció 2, «Característiques comunes».

Center X, Center Y

  Move the center of the waves

Amplitude

  Varies the height of the waves.

Period

  That is wavelength. Varies the distance between the top of waves.

  The high default value suits large images. For images of some hundreds pixels wide and high, a lower value, such as 20 in our example, fits better.

Phase shift

  This command shifts the top of the ripple.

Aspect ratio

  Values less than 1.00 render waves oval, with major axis vertical. Values higher than 1.00 give a major axis horizontal.

Resampling method

  These interpolation methods are described in Interpolation.

Clamp deformation

  TODO.

Use the selection as input, Use the entire layer as input
