Kaleidotile
Simulates looking through a kaleidoscope with rectangular facets. This filter is not automatically 
animated, but by animating the Angle parameter you can simulate the effect of twisting the 
kaleidoscope to rotate the image pattern.
This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups. For more information on rasterization, see
on page 1045.
