Plasmagon is a Whorld preset that generates Moir patterns with Bzier curves.
It consists of two files, BOTH of which are needed to run it correctly:

plasmagon.whl	<--- Open this one! The playlist!
plasmagon.whp

NOTE: You want to open the *playlist* (plasmagon.whl), NOT the patch!  The
easiest way to do this is:

1) Unzip the two files into the same folder.
2) Start up Whorld.
3) Drag plasmagon.whl onto Whorld's window.
4) Press Ctrl+F11 to go full-screen Exclusive.

Alternatively you could use File/Playlist/Open.

The preset will do the same thing each time you run it.  If this bothers you,
press F9 (Random Phase) to skip to a random point in phase space.

It looks best at 1280 x 1024 or a similar screen resolution.  For other sizes
you may need to adjust the zoom.  The lines may flicker annoyingly on some LCD
displays, but it should look fine on a CRT or a projector.

The reason it needs the playlist is because it uses global oscillators (for
Rotation and Pinwheel) and these are stored in the playlist, not the patch.
This is a good demonstration of combining regular and global oscillators.
