WHAT IT DOES

A moving scan gate reveals layered bitmap typography, calibration rails and offset color channels while the underlying letterforms stay structurally exact.

BEST FOR
  • Framed media
  • Vector studies
  • Focused product surfaces
KEY FEATURES
  • Bitmap glyph maps preserve clean joints at every scale
  • The moving gate clips independent color and calibration layers
  • Pointer input can offset the gate without changing its scan cadence
  • A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
  • Compact and full previews share one visibility-aware production renderer
PERFORMANCE

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

INTERACTION

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

ACCESSIBILITY

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

BEHAVIOR

Built to move without taking over.

  • Bitmap glyph maps preserve clean joints at every scale
  • The moving gate clips independent color and calibration layers
  • Pointer input can offset the gate without changing its scan cadence
  • A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
  • Compact and full previews share one visibility-aware production renderer

SOURCE STATUS

Portable implementation included in the verified MIT open-source package.
