S_KaleidoPolar Warps the source clip around in a disk shape and reflects radially as if viewed through a reflecting cylinder. In the Sapphire Stylize effects submenu. Inputs: Source:  The input clip to be warped.

Parameters:

Center:   X & Y,   Default: [360 243],  Range: any.
Center location of the kaleidoscoped image in screen coordinates relative to the center of the frame. The entire result will be shifted by this amount. This parameter can be adjusted using the Center Widget.

Z Dist:   Default: 1,  Range: 0.001 or greater.
Scales the 'distance' of the entire result in or out from the Center. Increase to zoom out, decrease to zoom in.

Rotate:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Rotates the kaleidoscope's reflection pattern about the Center by this many counter-clockwise degrees.

Stretch:   X & Y,   Default: [1 1],  Range: 0.1 or greater.
Scales the horizontal or vertical size of the result.

Inside Shift Y:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Shifts the source image up by this amount before it is reflected. This causes the resulting pattern of images to radiate outward from the center.

Angle Repeats:   Default: 6,  Range: 0.01 or greater.
The number of copies of the source image to wrap around. This should be an even integer to avoid a seam where the first copy connects to the last.

Filter:   Check-box,  Default: on.
If enabled, the image is adaptively filtered when it is resampled. This gives a better quality result when parts of the image are warped smaller.

Show Center: Check-box, Default: on.
Turns on or off the screen user interface for adjusting the Center parameter.
