System: shape_field

Structural

Parameter	Default	Range	What it does
shape	0	0 – 4	Which silhouette each mark is drawn as - a disc, a square, a star, and so on.
points	5	3 – 16	How many points or sides the silhouette has, where the shape has a count at all.
palette_steps	0	0 – 16	Quantizes the palette into this many flat bands; 0 leaves it continuous.
coord_mode	0	0 – 1	Which coordinate frame the distance is measured in, which changes the shape’s whole geometry.

Modal

Parameter	Default	Range	What it does
star_valley	0.45	0 – 1	How deep the notches between a star’s points cut; near 1 the star becomes a disc.
star_curve	0	-1 – 1	Bows a star’s edges inward or outward instead of leaving them straight.
star_jitter	0	0 – 1	Randomises each point’s length by a seeded amount, so the star reads as hand-drawn.
scale	0.6	0.05 – 2	Size of the shape within the frame.
pan_x	0		Slides the whole scene sideways, in the scene’s own units rather than pixels.
pan_y	0		Slides the whole scene vertically, in the scene’s own units rather than pixels.
color_span	0.6	0 – 1	How much of the palette the field’s range covers.
color_center	0	-1 – 1	Shifts which part of that range lands in the middle of the palette.
saturation	1	0 – 1	Pulls the scene’s colour toward grey; 0 is fully desaturated, 1 is the palette’s own.
palette_mix	0	0 – 1	Crossfades from the preset’s palette to its second one; 0 is the first, 1 the second.
palette_contour	0	0 – 1	Draws a line at each band edge when the palette is stepped; 0 draws none.
gamma	1	0.25 – 4	Shapes the falloff from the shape’s edge; below 1 it bites sooner.
rotation	0	0 – 1	Turns the shape, as a fraction of a full turn.
stroke	0	0 – 1	Draws the outline instead of the filled figure, at this half-width; 0 fills.
morph	0	0 – 1	Travels the authored path towards its morph_to silhouette; inert without one.
