Controls

module
Side of one module in source pixels. Everything else is measured in it: a finder square is exactly seven modules
markers
The three finder squares and the timing track between them. They are what makes this a code — without them it is a threshold on a grid
threshold
The brightness at which a module goes dark
dither
Moves the threshold from module to module so a gradient survives. At zero it is one hard cut, which is what a real code has
contrast
A number from -1 to 1, 0 by default.
ink
A colour, #101010 by default.
paper
A colour, #f2f2f2 by default.
