            <label appearance="header">Path Direction</label>
            <label>The generated paths can go uni-directionally from Left-to-Right, bi-directionally (back-and-forth), or back-and-forth with ends joined together (one continuous path). Note: regardless of mode, the generated SVG is a single path object.</label>
            <label appearance="header">Color Mode</label>
            <label>Grayscale is the classic mode which converts selected image to black-and-white before creating the paths, while CMY(K) generates CMY paths (Inkscape uses a conversion method that sets K [black] to 0, which is okay since C+Y+M appears black).</label>

            <label><br/>Generates a plottable SVG path using pixel brightness of an image to change the amplitude of waveforms, creating a form of halftoning.
            Can split a color image into CMY layers for using CMY pens to plot full-color images.
