Stripes

The Stripes generator creates a default image with vertical bands of two alternating colors.
You can change and keyframe the position, colors, size, and contrast of the stripes. By
animating the Center parameter, you can create an animation in which the stripes
continuously move across the screen without the need to resize and pan the object across
the Canvas.
