automatically animated, but by animating the Angle parameter you can simulate the
effect of twisting the kaleidoscope to rotate the image pattern.

Center: Sets the position of the origin of the parallelogram tiles.

Acute Angle: Sets the acute angle at which the parallelogram sides meet.

Angle: Sets the angle of rotation of the panels.

Tile Size: Sets the size of the panels. The panels range in size from 1 to 200.

Dashboard controls
