Geometry computed live from the trace; the colour field is the whole population's visit frequency from the statistics engine's coverage grid.

Compiled by the explorer builder atop the statistics engine's per-path index · thumbnails are downsampled traces; the specimen page draws one real .wrd at full resolution, coloured by the population coverage grid. All measurement, no decoration.
