With mechanical guides, a raking can be undone by reversing the motion of the rake to its original position. Raking is thus a physical manifestation of a homeomorphism, a continuous function between topological spaces (in this case between a topological space and itself) that has a continuous inverse function. The package comes with some predefined *basic actions* like: - /drop - random-drops - random-drops-colors - concentric-bands - /stroke - /rake - /stir - /vortex - /wiggle - /offset With these commands one can create quite artistic marble-like patterns following the rules of fluid mechanics.
