Tiling (Columns & Rows)

Controls the grid resolution. Higher values = more detail but slower processing.

💡 Tip: higher values = more detail but slower processing.

Density (Min/Max)

Controls how many zigzag lines are drawn per tile. Higher max density = darker areas with more lines.

💡 Tip: the higher the difference between min and max density, the more detailed the output will be.

when using Monochrome Processing mode, min and max density shouldn't be the same.

Brightness Threshold

only pixel areas darker than this threshold are considered for path generation.

💡 Tip: Lower the threshold to remove light areas from the output.

Continuous Paths

When enabled, connects paths of the same color to minimize pen lifts during plotting.

💡 Tip: use the Path Connection Threshold setting to control the distance between paths.

Curved / Square Paths

Toggle between edged corner and smooth curves using Bézier curves. Adjust smoothness and rotation for organic effects.

💡 Tip: Toggle on for more hand-drawn, natural appearance

Rows height

Adjust the relative height of the rows (based on the square paths). curved paths results in taller rows because of beziers depending on the curve smoothness.

💡 Tip: Lower the row height when using pen or tool a wide stroke width.

Stroke Width

Adjust the width of the paths.

💡 Tip: you can simulate a wider stroke width by increasing this value.

Color Amount (only available in Posterize and Grayscale Mode)

Number of colors to reduce the image to. Uses K-means clustering algorithm.

💡 Tip: use 5-12 colors for balanced results

Curve Smoothness

only available when Curved Paths is enabled

Controls how smooth the Bézier curves are between points. Higher values create smoother, more flowing curves while lower values create tighter, more angular transitions between segments.

💡 Tip: low values (0.01–0.05) give a pointy, aggressive look. Values around 0.15–0.25 are natural and balanced.

Lower Knot X Shift

Shifts the horizontal (X) position of the lower knot points in each tile. The range is based on half the tile width in each direction. This effectively tilts or skews the zigzag pattern left or right.

💡 Tip: use small values for a subtle italic-like slant; extreme values produce dramatic diagonal patterns.

Upper Knot Explode

Controls the magnitude of random displacement applied to upper knot points. At 0%, the upper knots stay in their default positions. At 100%, a pre-calculated random shift is fully applied, making the peaks of the zigzag pattern irregular and organic.

💡 Tip: subtle values (10–30%) add a hand-drawn feel. Higher values create chaotic, abstract textures.

Disorganize

Applies random displacement to every point in each path — both upper and lower knots. At 0%, paths remain perfectly structured. Increasing the value progressively scatters all points, creating an increasingly chaotic and hand-drawn aesthetic.

💡 Tip: combine with Curve Smoothness for organic, sketchy styles. Values above 50% can significantly distort the image.

Row Wave Height

modulates the row height based on a sinusoidal wave pattern.

💡 Tip: negative values invert the wave direction. Works best combined with Column Wave Shift and Wave Frequency.

Column Wave Shift

shift vertically paths according to a sinusoidal wave pattern. Entire columns are shifted vertically based on a cosine function of the row position, producing vertical undulations through the artwork.

💡 Tip: combine with Row Wave Height and adjust Wave Frequency to create complex interference patterns like moiré effects.

Wave Frequency

Controls the frequency of both Row Wave Height and Column Wave Shift patterns. Higher values create more wave cycles across the grid (tighter waves), while lower values produce fewer, broader waves.

💡 Tip: this control has no visible effect unless Row Wave Height or Column Wave Shift is non-zero.
