A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition you paste it into. ## Variables Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element: | Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does | | - | - | - | - | | `fps` | `10` | `8`, `10`, `12` | Stepped-time cadence in frames per second. | | `boil` | `on` | `on`, `off` | 2-frame edge jitter, seeded per step. Off holds dead still. | | `accent` | `green` | `green`, `blue`, `violet` | Lead shape color: green rides --brand, blue rides --accent, violet rides --accent-2. | | `exit` | `none` | `none`, `fade`, `up` | Optional departure. Default none: the settled collage holds until the frame cuts. | Set them with `data-variable-values` on the element that mounts it. These are the defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one: ```html wrap theme={null}
