Customization of wave function for TileReflection

[Lehonti]

The sharp, clear-cut edges of the tiles in TileReflection are achieved through the tangent function, which approaches infinite on one side and minus infinite on the other side, resulting in very sudden jumps.

But what if we chose a different function? For example if we chose sine, the image would be bulged in a tile pattern but it wouldn't have clear edges. Other functions would behave in different, interesting ways.

This is cool, definitely has some interesting effects!

I'm mostly unsure about the naming of the Wave Type parameter and its menu options, which are pretty technical and might not make much sense to a user without an understanding of what the effect is doing internally. Ideally there could be some names that describe what behaviour is produced?

[Lehonti]

@cameronwhite what names would you suggest?

[cameronwhite]

I haven't thought much about names for the new modes, but for example you might label the existing mode as Tile Shape -> Curved Edges or something like that?
The current mode looks like the image is reflected in a mirror made up of tiles that have some curvature along their edges. Ideally we could have some labels for the new modes that give some idea of the general look of the effect

[Lehonti]

@cameronwhite, since we're focusing on the visual effect rather than the wave function, I’ve narrowed the options down to two to start (we can add more tile types later). I named the enum TileType, with the options CleavedEdges (the existing type) and CurvedEdges (the new type). English isn’t my first language, so feel free to suggest different names if you think they would be more suitable.

The caption here should also be updated to Tile Type

[cameronwhite]

I'd maybe use Sharp rather than Cleaved here, since that might be easier to translate into other languages too

[cameronwhite]

How about just Curved or Round?
From what I recall when testing it out last week, in this mode it's more like the whole tile is curved, whereas the other mode is more like a flat tile except at the edges

@cameronwhite I implemented your suggestions 👍
