Controls

unit
Length of a dot in source pixels. Everything is built from it: a dash is three of them, a gap between marks is one
line
Height of one line. A line averages everything that falls in it, so a tall one greys out the texture before the code ever sees it
weight
Mark thickness as a share of the line height, which is the ratio you actually set rather than an absolute width
bias
Where the borders between gap, dot and dash fall. Left thins the code out, right blackens it
contrast
A number from -1 to 1, 0 by default.
ink
A colour, #e8e4d8 by default.
paper
A colour, #12100c by default.
