Features
- Generate Squares, Rectangles & Rhombi — A quadrilateral key generator has 2 inputs (for horizontal and vertical reference waveforms and 4 thresholds (for the top, right, bottom, left borders.) Ratio & Size controls quickly define the 4 thresholds as a group.
- Compose Priority Layered Sprites & Glyphs — Each key output is subtracted from the lower layers. This nesting doll effect allows programming of simple letterforms and icons.
- Extract Foreground Fragments From Complex Sources — When fed horizontal and vertical references from wave shapers, video cameras, and other complex sources, Stacker serves as a tool for extracting foreground details, tiles and mosaics.
