Pixel engine

Name: pixel. Output: SVG. Generates a single-color, retro pixel-grid avatar on an optional background.

The pixel pattern and color are derived from the hash of the seed. With symmetry enabled the grid is mirrored horizontally.

Avatar::engine('pixel')
    ->seed('user@example.com')
    ->size(256)
    ->pixels(5)
    ->symmetry(true)
    ->foregroundLightness(0.4)
    ->backgroundLightness(0.9)
    ->generate();

Options

Option	Method	Type	Default
Grid size	`pixels()`	int	`5`
Horizontal symmetry	`symmetry()`	bool	`true`
Foreground lightness	`foregroundLightness()`	float	`0.5`
Background lightness	`backgroundLightness()`	float	`0.9`
Draw background	`background()`	bool	`true`

pixels is the grid dimension (e.g. 5 produces a 5×5 grid). The foreground and background share the seed's hue and differ in lightness. Set the background toggle to false to omit the background rectangle.
