Pixel Sort Bands

A synthetic image plane is sampled into tonal runs and reordered inside cursor-led bands, producing a controlled pixel-sort composition with intact source landmarks.

• Framed media
• Vector studies
• Focused product surfaces

• Tonal runs are reordered inside bounded bands instead of random glitching
• Source landmarks remain visible beneath the transformed plane
• Direction modes change the sampling axis and displacement model
• A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
• Compact and full previews share one visibility-aware production renderer

Adaptive sampling, capped DPR and visibility-based suspension keep the renderer predictable. Test density on low-power mobile hardware before increasing it.

Pointer and touch coordinates are container-scoped; offscreen renderers stop work and pixel ratio is capped.

The visual canvas is decorative by default. Pair it with a semantic heading or description, and reduced motion holds a stable rendered frame.
