Controls

kernel
Four looks along the sides only, eight also along the diagonals, which lays down twice the line on a slanted border
threshold
How strong the response has to be to count as an edge. High up the scale only the hardest borders survive
blur
Softens the picture before the edges are found. The second derivative hears noise loudly, and blur is what quiets it
thickness
A number from 1 to 4 pixels, 1 by default.
contrast
A number from -1 to 1, 0 by default.
invert
On or off, off by default.
ink
A colour, #ffffff by default.
paper
A colour, #000000 by default.
