02How it's drawn

The recipe for arrow-left

Arrow left is not stored as a drawing. It is a recipe of 1 line and 1 polyline on a 24 by 24 grid, and a small program draws it like a pencil would. The wobble comes from the name, so it always comes out the same.

Same icon, every way

Pass a seed for another take of the same recipe. The wobble is capped, so it still reads at 16 px.
