Weave

Overview

Creates an effect that draws a weave pattern and animates it. This effect works the best on a matrix with a large pixel count.

String Setup

• Positioning - Determines how the target elements are treated. Either as individual strings or by their actual location in the display preview.
• Orientation - Controls the orientation of the display area (matrix).

Configuration

• Direction - Configures the direction of bar movement.

  • Moves Up - The bars move in a upward direction.
  • Moves Down - The bars move in a downward direction.
  • Vertical Expand - The bars move outward from the center.
  • Vertical Compress - The bars move in a motion that looks like they are compressing in the middle.
  • Moves Left - The bars move from right to left.
  • Moves Right - The bars move from left to right.
  • Horizontal Expand - The bars move outward from the center.
  • Horizontal Compress - The bars move in a motion that looks like they are compressing in the middle.
  • Center Compress - The bars move in a motion that looks like they are compressing in the middle.
  • Center Expand - The bars move outward from the center.

• Rotation - The rotation of the weave bars. The weave bars can rotate in either direction using the following mapping to the curve:

  • 100 - 180 Degrees (Counter Clockwise)
  • 75 - 90 Degrees (Counter Clockwise)
  • 50 - No Rotation
  • 25 - 90 Degrees (Clockwise)
  • 0 - 180 Degrees (Clockwise)

• Speed - Determines how fast the weave moves.

• Highlight - Creates a white highlighted leading edge on each bar. This may not be highly visible in some cases when using location positioning.

• 3D - Makes each color appear as a gradient fading to black.

• Thickness - Controls the thickness of the weave bar. This value is a percentage of the display element.

• Spacing - Controls the blank area between each weave bar. This value is percentage of the display element.

• Advanced Sizing - Enables curves for controling the weave bar thickness and spacing. The horizontal and vertical weave bar thickness and spacing can be configured independently when in advanced sizing mode.

• Horizontal Thickness - Controls the thickness of the horizontal weave bars. This value is a percentage of the display element.

• Horizontal Spacing - Controls the blank area between each horizontal weave bar. This value is percentage of the display element.

• Vertical Thickness - Controls the thickness of the vertical weave bars. This value is a percentage of the display element.

• Vertical Spacing - Controls the blank area between each vertical weave bar. This value is percentage of the display element.

Color

• Horizontal Gradients - The color gradients for the horizontal bars that make up the weave. The list supports gradients of solid, or varying colors. Gradients are applied over the width of the bar.

• Vertical Gradients - The color gradients for the vertical bars that make up the weave. The list supports gradients of solid, or varying colors. Gradients are applied over the width of the bar.

Brightness

• Intensity - This is an overall brightness intensity curve over the duration of the effect. This is a legacy parameter, consider using intensity overlay layers instead.
