tiling source image and size/pixels

That's an interesting problem indeed. None of the existing 'tiling' snippets works correctly with 'size/pixels', AFAIK. Does anyone else hear 'challenge'?

Your delft tiles are looking excellently photorealistic, btw.

Yup, looks like it.

There was some talk about introducing a 'repeat' component, and also about the inherent speed issues it would have:

For example, when the Repeat component is set to 10x10, that would mean the blur will have to produce an image 100 times larger than normal. This means the filter will be 100 times slower. This is a limitation of our current architecture.

However, the above problem appears to be a result of the limitation of the 'Image' component. The image component could be considered to be hardwired to a 'Fixed' state (like the option on a frame component). What it needs is an option to turn this off, so it would properly repeat & tile with the 'Size, pixels' slider. I imagine this would be rather easy to implement, and it propably won't even incur the speed penalties Vlad mentioned in the quote above.

That doesn't work, that's the whole point here. Just open Quasimondo's snippet and hit the size/pixels slider, you'll see what I mean.
