There's a new video in the Gallery page, illustrating how matrix filters work. Besides the amusement of watching the narrator be unable to multiply 1 by -1 to get a correct result, the video explains with illustrations made in Manifold in a clear and simple way how such filters work their magic. In addition to explaining filters, the video provides a real-life look at simple Manifold techniques for moving objects around in drawings using the Shift transform, and fast and easy use of Selection and tables to quickly put desired values into attributes. It's amazing how such a simple process can produce such an incredibly wide range of visual and analytic results.

A user manual topic version is the How Matrix Filters Work topic.

This is normally a really daunting topic. Mysterious how such a simple mechanism can produce such powerful results--almost inviting the conclusion "I clearly don't understand".

Now we have this beautiful explanation, step by simple step. Nothing is assumed. Nothing is mysterious...

...But it is still magic.
