Controls

pattern
What the overlaid screens are made of: dots or lines. Lines give the sharper interference
screens
How many screens are stacked. Two make the classic beat, three a denser rosette of it
cell
Pitch of the screens. The whole pattern lives in the difference between them, so small changes here move a lot
angle
Angle of the first screen. The others are set from it by the separation below
separation
How many degrees apart the screens stand. Near zero they line up and the beat grows huge; wide apart it becomes a fine rosette
drift
How much finer each next screen is than the last. A second way to beat them against each other, by pitch rather than by angle
ink
A colour, #1a1a1a by default.
paper
A colour, #f4f2ec by default.
contrast
A number from -1 to 1, 0 by default.
