Stripes

The Stripes generator creates a default image with vertical bands of two alternating
colors. You can change and keyframe the position, colors, size, and contrast of the
stripes. By animating the Center parameter, you can create an animation in which the
stripes continuously move across the screen without the need to resize and pan the
object across the Canvas. In the second image, the generator object is rotated so the
stripes are horizontal.

Parameters in the Inspector

Center: Sets the position of the center of the stripe pattern.

Color 1: Picks the color of the first stripe. Use the disclosure triangle to display Red,
Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders for more precise color selection.

Color 2: Picks the color of the second stripe. Use the disclosure triangle to display Red,
Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders for more precise color selection.

Size: Sets the width of the individual stripes.

Contrast: Sets the sharpness or blurriness of the edge between the stripes. Values
range from 0 to 1.
