## Summary

Dot Matrix Icon turns pasted SVG markup into a crisp dot-grid render.

## Description

Dot Matrix Icon turns pasted SVG markup into a crisp dot-grid render. It rasterizes your SVG into a configurable rows × columns grid and draws circular dots wherever the SVG alpha exceeds your threshold. Use it for logos, hero accents, badges, loaders, or subtle animated UI details.

Enable **Random Pulse** to periodically highlight a percentage of dots using an active color, creating a clean, modern motion accent without distracting loops.

### Key features

-   Paste full <svg>...</svg> markup to generate the dot mask automatically
-   Adjustable grid resolution with **Rows** and **Cols**
-   **Alpha thres** control to capture more detail or simplify the silhouette
-   Style controls for **dot size**, **base/active colors**, **background**, and **radius**
-   Optional **Random Pulse** animation with **Active %** and **Speed ms**

### How to use

1.  Add the component to your canvas.
2.  Paste your full SVG markup into **SVG**.
3.  Adjust **Rows** and **Cols** to set the level of detail.
4.  Tune **Alpha thres** until the silhouette looks right.
5.  Customize **Base** and **Active** colors, plus **Background** and **Radius**.
6.  (Optional) Turn **Anim** to _Random_ and set **Active %** and **Speed ms**.

### Best practices

-   Start around **16×16** and increase for more detail.
-   If dots disappear, lower **Alpha thres**.
-   For smoother performance, avoid very high grid sizes and keep **Active %** modest.

### Limitations / notes

-   Very complex SVG effects (filters, masks, unusual strokes) may rasterize differently when converted to a dot grid.
-   Higher grid sizes can increase render cost on low-end devices.
