Bending the scan lines

Each scan line is deflected by its luminance or by the depth map, the technique of the early video synthesisers. The lines bend into a relief, and the space between the lines is left as the Between Lines setting chooses.

What the lines are made of

Deflect By decides the source for the bend, Luminance or Depth. Between Lines is Black, the image, or Transparent. Line Colour is the Source colour, or Phosphor, the green-white glow of an old monitor.

Every option, from the app

Generated from the registry the app publishes, so this list is whatever the current build actually ships — not a copy of it.
