Controls

sectors
How many wedges the circle is cut into. Six is the toy tube, twenty-four is a snowflake
angle
Turns the finished pattern rigidly, the way a hand turns the tube — it does not pick a different piece of the photo
mirror
Mirrored wedges meet without a seam; plain rotated copies break at every border, which is the harder, more graphic look
zoom
How close the picture is sampled around the centre. A ratio, so two means twice as large at any output size
center x
A number from 0 to 1, 0.5 by default.
center y
A number from 0 to 1, 0.5 by default.
