Crisscross
Crisscross extends Streamline with perfectly balanced horizontal and vertical line segments.
Streamline
The streamline pattern is a variation of Vermicular2007, where the "solid" space is filled with lines instead of a checkerboard pattern. This seemingly minor change produces a very different effect. Horizontal and vertical variants also have a different feel.
Vermicular 2007
Vermicular ("as made by worms") was a popular motif in roman times. This modern version is generated by the masking-algorithm. What's interesting is that this mixes the loops and doodles with a dither/halftone. Using two colors one gets the "string" in the first color, and a blend of the two colors taking up the "solid" space. (i.e. using black and white, you end up with an image that appears to be black and gray).
