Cool effect, looks like a digital patchwork.

Whoa... I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it... Then I took the slider from pixel-view to largest view... Really masterful, minimum!

Thanks, everyone.

@gf, dj: Effect is all this has.
@intaglio: Nothing useful. ;)
@cayo: :) The sample explains it all.
@SPeg: All patches are one step down from previous, except for the lightest, which is two step down. 3rd and 4th were rendering at the same shade of gray.
@G1: Real argyle is still in the planning stage. Lets see if that can be extracted without obvious pixelization.
@p-pnut: *grin*
