## Install

<InstallCommand command="npx hyperframes add rgb-glitch-text" />

That writes one file: `compositions/components/rgb-glitch-text.html`.

## 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                                                                                                              |
| ----------- | ---------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `text`      | `GLITCH`   | string                          | The word shown on all three stacked copies.                                                                               |
| `intensity` | `standard` | `subtle`, `standard`, `extreme` | Scales the red and cyan offsets the timeline drives, so the split reads as a hairline or a hard tear.                     |
| `tone`      | `ink`      | `ink`, `paper`, `accent`        | Colour of the solid copy the two ghosts split away from: ink for light frames, paper for dark ones, accent rides --brand. |

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:

```html wrap theme={null}
<div
  data-composition-id="rgb-glitch-text"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/rgb-glitch-text.html"
  data-variable-values='{"text":"GLITCH","intensity":"standard","tone":"ink"}'
></div>
```

<Accordion title={`rgb-glitch-text.html`}>
  ```html theme={null}
  <!--
    RGB Glitch Text - remocn typography primitive for HyperFrames.

    Paste the markup, CSS and script into a composition. Drive the timeline
    integration from a paused GSAP timeline so renders remain deterministic.

    Variables. The script reads each one, falls back to the declared default on
    anything missing or unrecognised, and writes the result as a custom property
    the CSS above consumes. The timeline recipe below is untouched by them: it
    keeps driving one red offset and one cyan offset, and intensity decides how
    far those offsets actually carry.

      - text (any short word, default "GLITCH"): the word set on all three
        stacked copies at once, so they stay in register.
      - intensity (subtle | standard | extreme, default standard): scales the
        driven offsets, from a hairline fringe to a hard tear. Both offsets are
        zero at rest, so this one only shows once the timeline runs.
      - tone (ink | paper | accent, default ink): colour of the solid copy the
        red and cyan ghosts split away from. ink is near-black for light frames,
        paper near-white for dark ones, accent rides --brand.

    On every default the result is identical to the original: near-black GLITCH
    with red and cyan copies tearing 8px either way.
