Settings
Grating Frequency        Defines the number of grating cycles per element's width. Zero value switches the element in the Gaussian blob mode- the full color range is used by the Gaussian function alone                Double         
Gaussian Sigma        Defines a standard deviation (sigma) of the Gaussian component                Double         
Grating Phase        Defines a shift for the grating phase, in degrees (0..360)                Double         
Grating Orientation        Defines the grating orientation, in degrees (0..360)                Double         
Ellipticity Ratio        Defines the Gaussian ellipticity- a ratio between width and height (0..1)                Double         
Trimming Threshold        Defines the threshold for the Gaussian component (0..1) such that the values below are not applied to the patch.                Double         
Gabor Contrast        Defines the normalized gabor gray contrast                Double         
Patch Shape        Defines a shape of the generated gabor grating                GaborP..         
Visual Appearance
Alpha Masking        Defines, whether the visual content is used to create an opacity mask on the event surface. If masking is on, the content's pixel luminance (or, its inverse) defines transparency within element's viewport. The alpha masking allows, for example, create transparent holes on the event surface.                Int32         
AntiAliasing        if true, the rendered content will be antialiased for smoother visual appeariance. If false, rendering will be authentic to its source, e.g. a bitmap.                Boolean         
Position        Defines a position of the rendering viewport on the screen                clPoint         
Size        Defines a size of the element's rendering viewport on the screen                clSize         
Z Order        Indicates Z Order of the element on the given event                Int32         
Pivot Point        Defines alignment of the pivot point (or, element's position) relative to element's rendering area. The pivot point sets the center of element's rotation and scale directions.                stAlig..         
Visible        Defines whether the element is visible                Boolean         
Rotation        Rotation angle in degrees                Double         
Effects
Transparent Color        The color of the original pixels of rendered content that will be set as transparent                stColor         
Transparent Tolerance        Tolerance ratio for choosing colors that become transparent. Zero means that effect is not applied, 1 denotes that all colors will become trasparent                Int32         
Color Mask        Produces a multiplicative combination of the original pixels and the selected mask color (except the alpha channel).  The effect emulates a look through a colored glass.  White or transparent mask color dont change the original pixels                stColor         
Opacity        Opacity of the rendered content                Int32         
Contrast        Contrast of the rendered content                Int32         
Brightness        Brightness the rendered content                Int32         
Saturation        Saturation of the rendered content                Double         
Pixelation        Pixelation of the rendered content                Int32         
Blurring        The radius used in the gaussian blur of rendered content, as a pixel-based factor. The default is 0 which means no blurring.                Int32         
Scrambling                        Double         
Scrambling Grid Size        Defines a size of the scrambling grid                clSize         
Positional Jitter
Reset Jitter Now        Runtime command that resets the positional jitter.                Boolean         
Current Jitter        Returns the current jitter                clPoint         
Jitter Range        Defines a possible range for the random jitter. The range is centered to the position of the element.                clSize         
Test Jitter        Click to test the current jitter                Boolean         
Control
Is Enabled        If set to false the element is completely omitted when the experiment is run                Boolean         
Title        Title of the element                String         

Mono++ Gabor Grating Element renders a gabor or linear grating patch defined by a set of parameters. The patch is rendered in the in Mono++ mode (14bit gray), supported only by the ViSaGe and Bit# hardware (Cambridge Research System) The parameterized rendering model is adapted from a work of Elliot Freeman.
