Description
The Kaleidoscope is simply a tube with two or three mirrors running lengthwise down the inside.
Features and Applications
One end is covered with clear glass or plastics and the other is frosted or semi-opaque. Inside the tube are some loose coloured shapes of paper, plastics or glass, and it is the reflections of these which makes the interesting and complex patterns.
Designer
- Click on the pencil-shaped Edit icon below to show or hide variables and click inside table to alter values (scroll to see all).
- Left or Right click on the screen display or use Scroll Wheel to alter view and Left click on Zoom icon to restore (note: Zoom will be focussed around the cursor position)
- Left click on Download icon and Open with your preferred browser then print screen image from there (useful for trying ideas for text and graphics etc. but unlikely to be actual size), or Save File to create a full-size Scalable Vector Graphics (svg) file which can be loaded into LibreOffice Draw and printed, or graphics software such as Inkscape for eventual output at actual size to a Plotter/Cutter for example. See Packaging Designer User Guide for more detail.
