I think my own confusion stems from a lack of clarity in the documentation. The
only clue of what to *visually* expect from 'phase' is the one sentence about
the radial pattern (comparing it to "rotate y*angle)-- which happens to be
wrong, apparently. I think the docs need something else-- perhaps another
'movement' example, or a small explanation of the movement as it relates to a
pattern's index list. Simply describing phase as "causing the map entries to be
shifted so that the map starts and ends at a different place" isn't quite
detailed enough.
