It should. One interesting aspect is that while photo/scan distorts the pattern, flattening the shape to put it in quad2dat does the same distortion so they compensate each other!

I was curious if it was a direct projection or an area preserving one. A nice variant might be to write an area preserving variant although that would get quite complex.

It’s a direct parallel projection. I think it’s the best since the photo (with a long focal lens) or a scan has the same projection.
