A photo or raster image needs tracing into a vector first. ## How to use it 1. Drop a vector onto the card's **Vector** slot. 2. Write what you want in **Direction**. 3. Set **Harmony**, **Variations** on the card. 4. Press **Run**. ## On the card | Control | What it does | Choices | | - | - | - | | Vector | Drop a canvas vector or an .svg file.
