Glyph Weave guide

Three looks

Each picture below was made in Glyph Weave from a preset and the settings in its table, at the cell count and aspect the tool opens with unless the table says otherwise.

Four tiers

Four terraces of red and orange islands inside a circle, each standing above the last
The Vermilion preset: islands cut four times, each tier standing eight cells above the one below.

Press Vermilion under Presets. It cuts the same field four times, a tier step apart, and each tier stands eight cells higher than the last.

Every cell walks back along the walls' fall to find the first top or wall it meets, so the terraces read as one solid thing. See line of sight.

Raise Tier rise under Relief and the terraces pull apart; lower Tier step and they crowd together.

Carved words

The word GLYPH cut out of a stepped blue plate over a cell field
GLYPH carved out of a stepped plate over the Peacock field.

Press Peacock, then Carve under Words. The word is measured as a signed distance field and a stepped plate is built around it, with the letters cut out.

Bevel sets how many cells of stroke each tier takes, and Boil makes the edges wander and come back round with the loop.

Words type becomes matterCarve

Type Tamil or Devanagari in Text and pick the matching face under Font; the letters are measured the same way.

A woven ground

A green field whose ground is woven from a lattice of small crosses
The Forest preset with the ground layer set to a lattice of crosses.

Press Forest, pick Ground in the layer chips, then Lattice under Pattern and Cross under Mark.

Period sets how far apart the lattice repeats and Width how many cells of it are lit; Weight sets how much of each lit cell the cross fills. See cell lattice and cell mark.

Set March to 1 and the whole weave crawls a cell at a time, and still closes on the loop.
