Center location of the kaleidoscoped image.

Scales the distance of the entire result in or out from the Center. Increase to zoom out, decrease to zoom in.

Rotates the kaleidoscope's reflection pattern about the Center by this many counterclockwise degrees.

Translates the image inside the kaleidoscope before it is reflected.

Zooms the image in or out inside the kaleidoscope before it is reflected.

Rotates the image inside the kaleidoscope before it is reflected.

Adjusts the overall amount of distortion applied to the image. Set this to 0 to leave the image unchanged or to 1 for a normal kaleidoscope pattern.

Determines the method for accessing outside the borders of the image. This is used only if the image inside the kaleidoscope is not contained within the shape of mirrors.

Creates black beyond the borders.

Repeats a copy of the image.

Repeats a mirrored copy. Edges are often less visible with this method.

If enabled, the image is resampled using pixel averaging. This removes aliasing and gives a higher quality result, although it may not be necessary if your image is smooth with no sharp edges or high frequencies.

These 4 parameters, Crop Top, Crop Bottom, Crop Left, and Crop Right, allow selecting a rectangular subsection of the image to be processed. If the Wrap parameters are set to "No" the exposed borders will be transparent. If the Wrap is "Tile" or "Reflect", the image is wrapped on the new cropped borders to fill the frame. This can make it easier to avoid artifacts due to distorting an image with bad edges.

Enables/disables the on-screen control for adjusting the Center parameter.
