  Aceste opțiuni sunt descrise în Secțiune 2, „Caracteristici obișnuite”.

X Period, Y Period

  Low values will increase the amount of repeating patterns, high values will enlarge the repeating patterns.

X Amplitude, Y Amplitude

  Low values will cause a blurring effect, higher values make the pattern sharper.

X Phase, Y Phase

  This determines the offset where the pattern starts.

Angle

  This controls the angle at which the pattern is generated.

Offset, Exponent

  The value offset and exponent control the relative amount of darker and lighter areas in the pattern.

X Offset, Y Offset

  The offset of the X and Y axis.

Rotation

  The rotation angle of the pattern.

Supersampling

  The number of samples along each axis per pixel.
