Things to try
- Set the fin length to zero. Confirm both lines look equal.
- Raise the fin length step by step. Note where the difference becomes obvious to you.
- Change the fin angle with the fin length fixed. Compare sharp fins with wide ones.
At the default settings this image measures 368 by 250 px. The sweep on the Müller-Lyer page tracks Fin length (px); 0 removes the fins and the illusion and marks these values as weak: 0 to 30 px.
