Cursor Glyph Trail

Paste it into your composition

Open compositions/components/cursor-glyph-trail.html and copy what is inside into your own composition.A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition you paste it into.

Variables

Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:

Variable	Default	Accepts	What it does
`glyphs`	“	string	Deprecated and ignored: the trail draws evenly spaced dots.
`density`	`med`	`low`, `med`, `high`	Spacing between trail dots.
`path`	`sweep`	`sweep`, `arc`, `zigzag`	How each move bends: sweep is a gentle curve, arc a deeper one, zigzag a straight line.
`fade`	`0.5`	number	Seconds a step trail takes to fade once the next move begins, clamped 0.3 to 1.5.
`accent`	`green`	`green`, `blue`, `violet`	Trail and step marker color: green rides —brand, blue rides —accent, violet rides —accent-2.
`exit`	`none`	`none`, `fade`, `up`	Optional departure. Default none: the finished screen holds until the frame cuts.

Set them with data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:

<div
  data-composition-id="cursor-glyph-trail"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/cursor-glyph-trail.html"
  data-variable-values='{"glyphs":"","density":"med","path":"sweep","fade":0.5,"accent":"green","exit":"none"}'
></div>
