Swirl map
The Swirl map creates a swirled image of two colors: Base and Swirl. The Swirl Parameters rollout includes
two color swatches and map buttons to specify these colors. The Swap button switches the two colors.
Other options include Color Contrast, which controls the contrast between the two colors; Swirl Intensity,
which defines the strength of the swirl color; and Swirl Amount, which is how much of the Swirl color gets
mixed into the Base color.
