# triangleKaleidoscope()

Create a triangular kaleidoscope effect and then tiles the result.

## Declaration

```swift
class func triangleKaleidoscope() -> any CIFilter & CITriangleKaleidoscope
```

## Return Value

Return Value The tiled image.

## Discussion

Discussion This method applies the triangle kaleidoscope filter to an image. The effect produces a complex tiled pattern from a triangular area input image. The triangle kaleidoscope tile filter uses the following properties: The following code creates a filter that produces a triangle tile of the input image, creating an optical illusion: func triangleKaleidoscope(inputImage: CIImage) -> CIImage {     let triangleKaleidoscopeTile = CIFilter.triangleKaleidoscope()     triangleKaleidoscopeTile.inputImage = inputImage     triangleKaleidoscopeTile.point = CGPoint(x: 150, y: 150)     triangleKaleidoscopeTile.size = 700     triangleKaleidoscopeTile.rotation = -0.36     triangleKaleidoscopeTile.decay = 0.85     return triangleKaleidoscopeTile.outputImage! }
