# Short description #
The mathematical fascination with *ink marbling* is that while rakings across
the tank stretch and deform the ink boundaries, they do not break or change
the topology of the surface. 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.
