#### 14.15.1. Overview

Figure 17.372. Applying example for the Linear Sinusoid filter

Filter applied

The Linear Sinusoid filter lets you make sinusoidally based textures, with repeating lighter and darker areas based on a number of adjustable parameters.

The results don't depend on the image you opened.

#### 14.15.2. Activating the Filter

  | Note
  These options are described in Section 2, “Common Features”.

X Period, Y Period

  Low values will increase the amount of repeating patterns, high values will enlarge the repeating patterns.

X Amplitude, Y Amplitude

  Low values will cause a blurring effect, higher values make the pattern sharper.

X Phase, Y Phase

  This determines the offset where the pattern starts.

Angle

  This controls the angle at which the pattern is generated.

Offset, Exponent

  The value offset and exponent control the relative amount of darker and lighter areas in the pattern.

X Offset, Y Offset

  The offset of the X and Y axis.

Rotation

  The rotation angle of the pattern.

Supersampling

  The number of samples along each axis per pixel.
