Warp

Wave distortion of the grid — the frame ripples.

Warp: a geometry effect on the built-in sample photograph. Computed on your machine right now.

Controls

amplitude
How far a row travels at the crest. The sign flips the wave over, which is not the same as sliding it half a period
wavelength
Length of one wave in source pixels. Short is ripple on water, long is a single bend across the whole frame
direction
One of: horizontal, vertical, both.
phase
Slides the wave along. A full turn brings it back to where it started
falloff
Positive fades the wave towards the edges, negative towards the middle. At zero it is even everywhere
edge
What is taken from beyond the frame: the last pixel smeared, the picture mirrored, or the opposite edge wrapped around
contrast
A number from -1 to 1, 0 by default.
