\section*{PST-marble Commands and Parameters}
\subsection*{Colors}
RGB colors can be specified in three formats:
\mycmd{\texttt{[ 0.906 0.8 0.608 ]}}{}
Red, green, and blue color components between 0 and 1 in square
brackets.
\mycmd{\texttt{[ 231 204 155 ]}}{}
Red, green, and blue color components between 0 and 255 in square
brackets.
\mycmd{\texttt{(e7cc9b)}}{}
Red, green, and blue
(\textcolor{red}{Rr}\textcolor{Mycolor2}{Gg}\textcolor{blue}{Bb})
hexadecimal color components between \texttt{00} and \texttt{FF} (or
\texttt{ff}) in parentheses.
In the command arguments \rgbs indicates a bracketed sequence of
colors. For example:
\mycmd{\texttt{[(c28847) [231 204 155] [0.635 0.008 0.094]]}}{}
\mycmd{\rgb $\gamma$}{tint}
Returns the \rgb color as modified by $\gamma$. $0<\gamma<1$ darkens
the color; $1<\gamma$ lightens the color; and $\gamma=1$ leaves it
unchanged.
%% The original color is returned by ``\rgb~$\gamma${\tt~tint}~$2-\gamma${\tt~tint}''.
\mycmd{\rgb $\gamma$}{shade}
Returns the \rgb color as modified by $\gamma$. $0<\gamma<1$ lightens
the color; $1<\gamma$ darkens the color; and $\gamma=1$ leaves it
unchanged.
\mycmd{\rgb $\zeta$}{edgy-color}
Returns the \rgb color flagged so that in raster rendering the
boundary of each drop of that color is lightened while its center is
darkened. Where $a$ is the point's initial distance from the drop
center and $r$ is the drop's initial radius, the effective
$\gamma~=~\exp\left(\zeta\,a^2/r^2\right)\,{(\exp(\zeta)-1)/(\zeta\exp(\zeta))}$.
When $\zeta=0$, $\gamma=1$ and the drop has uniformly tone.
\subsection*{Parameters}
\texttt{{\char`\\}psMarble[}
\textit{parameter-assignment}\texttt{,}
\dots{}\texttt{,}
\textit{parameter-assignment}
\texttt{](}\textit{width}\texttt{,}\textit{height}\texttt{)}
\texttt{{\char`\\}psMarble[}
\textit{parameter-assignment}\texttt{,}
\dots{}\texttt{,}
\textit{parameter-assignment}
\texttt{]($x-$,$y-$)($x+$,$y+$)}
\medskip
The comma separated parameter assignments are part of the
\texttt{{\char`\\}psMarble} command. In the list below, the default
value for each parameter is shown to the right of the parameter name.
Note that the values assigned to \texttt{background=},
\texttt{colors=}, \texttt{seed=}, \texttt{actions=}, and
\texttt{spractions=} must be enclosed in curly braces
\texttt{{\char`\{}{\char`\}}}.
\myparamb{background}{[0~0~0]}
Specifies the color for regions where paint has not been dropped (or
moved to).
\myparam{bckg}{true}
When \texttt{bckg=false} the background color is not shown.
\myparamb{paper}{[1~1~1]}
Specifies whether tinting (brightening) or shading (darkening) occurs
when shading due to paper movement occurs from the {\tt jiggle-shade}
or {\tt wriggle-shade} commands. Default is white (brightening).
\myparamb{colors}{[0.275~0.569~0.796]
[0.965~0.882~0.302]
[0.176~0.353~0.129]
[0.635~0.008~0.094]
[0.078~0.165~0.518]
[0.824~0.592~0.031]
[0.059~0.522~0.392]
[0.816~0.333~0.475]
[0.365~0.153~0.435]
[0.624~0.588~0.439]}
Specifies a color sequence accessible in paint-dropping commands as
\texttt{colors}.
\myparam{drawcontours}{false}
When \texttt{drawcontours=true} paint contours are drawn with lines;
when \texttt{drawcontours=false} contours are filled;
\myparam{oversample}{0}
When \texttt{oversample=0} a resolution-independent image is produced
using contour-rendering. When the number of drops gets too large
($>150$) triangular artifacts start to appear. Changing to
\texttt{oversample=1} employs raster-rendering to more quickly compute
each image pixel individually. When \texttt{oversample=2} the
rendering takes four times as long, but each pixel is the averaged
over its four quarters, producing an image nearly as good as
\texttt{oversample=0}. When \texttt{oversample} is between 0 and
1, the rendering is on a coarser grid than \texttt{oversample=1},
speeding image production.
\myparam{overscan}{1}
When the \texttt{overscan} value is greater than 1, proportionally
more image (outside of the specified area) is shown, and the specified
area is outlined with a dashed rectangular border. This is a utility
for developing marblings.
\myparamb{seed}{Mathematical Marbling}
Specifies the random seed used for \texttt{normal-drops},
\texttt{uniform-drops}, \texttt{normal-spray}, and
\texttt{uniform-spray} commands. Changing the \texttt{seed} value
changes the positions of all drops from the \texttt{normal-drops},
\texttt{uniform-drops}, \texttt{normal-spray}, and
\texttt{uniform-spray} commands.
\myparam{viscosity}{1000}
Specifies the overall kinetic viscosity of the virtual tank fluid.
Its units are $\rm{mm^2/s}$; the default value of 1000, which is 1000
times more viscous than water, is a typical value for marbling.
Increasing \texttt{viscosity} reduces the fluid movement far from the
tines.
\myparamb{actions}{0 0 36 colors 35 concentric-rings}
Specifies the sequence of marbling commands to perform. The default
is a single command dropping 35 colors in the \texttt{colors}
sequence. The available commands are listed below.
\myparamb{shadings}{}
When \texttt{oversample}$>0$, specifies the sequence of shading
commands to perform after all marbling \texttt{actions} and
\texttt{spractions} are performed.
\myparamb{spractions}{}
Specifies the sequence of spray commands to perform. Spray commands
are performed after marbling and before shading.

\subsection*{Dropping Paint}
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $R_d$ \rgb}{drop}
Places a drop of color \rgb and radius $R_d$ centered at location
$x,y$.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $R_i$ \rgbs $n$}{concentric-rings}
Places $n$ rings in color sequence \rgbs centered at location $x,y$,
each ring having thickness $R_i$.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $\theta$ \Rs \rgbs $R_d$}{line-drops}
Places drops of colors \rgbs (in sequence) of radius $R_d$ in
a line through $x,y$ at $\theta$ degrees clockwise from upward
at distances \Rs from $x,y$.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ {\texttt{[}$\Omega_\perp$~...\texttt{]} } {\texttt{[}$\Omega_\parallel$~...\texttt{]} } $\theta$ \rgbs $R_d$}{serpentine-drops}
Places drops of colors \rgbs of radius $R_d$ in a serpentine pattern
(starting lower left to right; right to left; left to right...) at
offsets $\Omega_\perp \times \Omega_\parallel$ centered at location
$x,y$ and rotated by $\theta$ degrees clockwise from upward. The
sequences $\Omega_\perp$ and $\Omega_\parallel$ control the serpentine
sequence.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $R$ $\theta$ $S$ $\delta$ \rgbs $n$ $R_d$}{coil-drops}
Places $n$ drops of colors \rgbs (in sequence) of radius
$R_d$ in an arc or spiral centered at $x,y$ starting at radius $R$
and $\theta$ degrees clockwise from upward,
moving $S$ along the arc and incrementing the arc radius
by $\delta$ after each drop.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $L_\perp$ $L_\parallel$ $\theta$ \rgbs $n$ $R_d$}{normal-drops}
Places $n$ drops of colors \rgbs of radius $R_d$ randomly in a
circular or elliptical disk centered at $x,y$ having diameters
$L_\perp$ and $L_\parallel$ respectively perpendicular and parallel to
$\theta$ degrees clockwise from upward. For a circular disk
($R=L_\parallel/2=L_\perp/2$), 63\,\% of drops are within radius $R$,
87\,\% of drops are within $R\,\sqrt{2}$, and 98\,\% of drops are
within radius $2\,R$.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $L_\perp$ $L_\parallel$ $\theta$ \rgbs $n$ $R_d$}{uniform-drops}
Places $n$ drops of colors \rgbs of radius $R_d$ randomly in a $L_\perp$
by $L_\parallel$ rectangle centered at location $x,y$ and rotated by $\theta$
degrees clockwise from upward.
\subsection*{Deformations}
\mycmd{$\theta$ \Rs $V$ $S$ $D$}{rake}
Pulls tines of diameter $D$ at $\theta$ degrees from the y-axis
through the virtual tank at velocity $V$, moving fluid on the tine
path a distance $S$. The tine paths are spaced \Rs from the tank
center at their nearest points.
\mycmd{$x_b$ $y_b$ $x_e$ $y_e$ $V$ $D$}{stylus}
Pulls a single tine of diameter $D$ from $x_b,y_b$ to $x_e,y_e$ at
velocity $V$.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ \Rs $\omega$ $\theta$ $D$}{stir}
Pulls tines of diameter $D$ in circular tracks of radii \Rs (positive
$R$ is clockwise) around location $x,y$ at angular velocity $\omega$.
The maximum angle through which fluid is moved is $\theta$ degrees.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $\Gamma$ $t$}{vortex}
Rotates fluid clockwise around location $x,y$ as would result from an
impulse of circulation $\Gamma$ after time $t$. At small $t$ the
rotational shear is concentrated close to the center. As time passes
the shear propagates outward.
%% \mycmd{$\theta$ $\lambda$ $\Omega$ $S$}{wiggle}
%% Applies sinsusoidal wiggle with period $\lambda$ and maximum
%% displacement $S$ to whole tank. With $\theta=0$, a point at $x,y$ is
%% moved to $x+S\,\sin(360\,y/\lambda+\Omega),y$.
\mycmd{$\theta$ $\lambda$ $\Omega$ $A$ $B$}{jiggle}
Consider the tank as split into parallel infinitesimal strips
perpendicular to direction $\theta$ (degrees clockwise from upward).
Where $a$ is the distance in the $\theta$ direction, the strips are
displaced along their lengths by $0.5\,B\,\cos(360\,(a+\Omega)/\lambda)$
and in the $\theta$ direction by $0.5\,A\,\sin(360\,(a+\Omega)/\lambda)$.
Displacements in the $\theta$ direction squeeze and expand distances
between the strips. To prevent tears and tunnels $|\pi\,A|<|\lambda|$.
For area-preserving {\tt jiggle}s, use $A=0$.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $\lambda$ $A$ $B$}{wriggle}
{\tt wriggle} is to {\tt jiggle} as {\tt stir} is to {\tt rake}.
Consider the tank as split into concentric rings around $x,y$. Where
$r$ is the radial distance from $x,y$, rings are rotated by
$0.5\,B\,\cos(360\,r/\lambda)$, and expanded and contracted
$0.5\,A\,\sin(360\,r/\lambda)$. To prevent overlap
$|\pi\,A|<|\lambda|$. There is no offset parameter. When
$A/\lambda>0$, maximum compression is at $r$ equal to odd multiples of
$0.5\,\lambda$; otherwise maximum compression is at integer multiples
of $\lambda$.
\mycmd{$\theta$ $\Omega$}{shift}
Shifts tank by distance $\Omega$ in direction $\theta$ degrees
clockwise from upward.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $\theta$}{turn}
Turns tank around $x,y$ by $\theta$ degrees clockwise.
\mycmd{\texttt{[} $n$ $S$ $\Omega$}{tines} \texttt{]}
The {\tt tines} command and its arguments are replaced by a sequence
of $n$ numbers. The difference between adjacent numbers is $S$ and the
center number is $\Omega$ when $n$ is odd and $S/2-\Omega$ when $n$ is
even.
\subsection*{Spray Actions}
Spray actions are intended for drops small enough that they don't
noticeably move paint contours. The radii of spray droplets are the
cube roots of log-normal distributed values with mean $R_d$.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $L_\perp$ $L_\parallel$ $\theta$ \rgbs $n$ $R_d$}{normal-spray}
Places $n$ drops of colors \rgbs of radius $R_d$ randomly in a
circular or elliptical disk centered at $x,y$ having diameters
$L_\perp$ and $L_\parallel$ respectively perpendicular and parallel to
$\theta$ degrees clockwise from upward. For a circular disk
($R=L_\parallel/2=L_\perp/2$), 63\,\% of drops are within radius $R$,
87\,\% of drops are within $R\,\sqrt{2}$, and 98\,\% of drops are
within radius $2\,R$.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $L_\perp$ $L_\parallel$ $\theta$ \rgbs $n$ $R_d$}{uniform-spray}
Places $n$ drops of colors \rgbs of radius $R_d$ randomly in a $L_\perp$
by $L_\parallel$ rectangle centered at location $x,y$ and rotated by $\theta$
degrees clockwise from upward.
\subsection*{Shadings}
Shadings commands simulate the lightening and darkening of paint
transferred to paper caused by pulling the paper from the bath at
uneven rates. Shading is always performed for \texttt{spractions},
but only when \texttt{oversample}$>0$ for \texttt{actions}. Shading
commands are placed within the braces of the \texttt{shadings=\{\}}
parameter.
\mycmd{$\theta$ $\lambda$ $\Omega$ $A_s$}{jiggle-shade}
Applies darkening and lightening resulting from the squeezing and
expansion of a {\tt jiggle} command sharing its first four arguments:
``$\theta~\lambda~\Omega~A~B$~{\tt jiggle}''.
$A_s$ does not need to equal $A$ from the {\tt jiggle} command. When
$A_s$ is closer to zero, shading will be softer; when $A_s$ is further
from zero, shading will be darker. As with $A$ in the {\tt jiggle}
command, realistic shading requires $|\pi\,A_s|<|\lambda|$.
\mycmd{$x$ $y$ $\lambda$ $\Omega$ $A_s$}{wriggle-shade}
Applies darkening and lightening resulting from the squeezing and
expansion of a {\tt wriggle} command sharing its first three
arguments. Unlike {\tt wriggle}, {\tt wriggle-shade} takes an offset
argument $\Omega$. $A_s$ does not need to equal $A$ from the {\tt
wriggle} command. When $A_s$ is closer to zero, shading will be
softer; when $A_s$ is further from zero, shading will be darker. As
with $A$ in the {\tt wriggle} command, realistic shading requires
$|\pi\,A_s|<|\lambda|$. When $A/\lambda>0$ and $\Omega=0$, the
darkest rings are at $r$ equal to odd multiples of $0.5\,\lambda$;
otherwise the darkest rings are at integer multiples of $\lambda$ and
there is a dark spot at $x,y$.
