Borders

Because of ripples, that are a pixel displacement, some pixels may be missing on the image sides:

Da durch das Filter Pixel im Bild verschoben werden, kann es passieren, dass an den Bildkanten Pixel fehlen. Sie können mit dieser Eigenschaft festlegen, was in einem solchen Fall geschehen soll.

  • With Wrap, pixels going out one side will come back on the other side, replacing so the missing pixels.

  • With Smear, the adjacent pixels will spread out to replace the mixing pixels.

  • With Black, the mixing pixels will be replaced by black pixels.

Wave Type

These options are self-explanatory

  • Sawtooth

  • Sine

Periode

The Periode is related to wavelength (0-200 pixels)

Amplitude

The Amplitude is related to wave height (0-200 pixels).
