# Dots

Dot matrix with a soft wave of brighter, larger dots sweeping or rippling across it.

```bash
npx shadcn add https://www.reelcn.dev/r/dots.json
```

Usage:

```tsx
<AbsoluteFill>
  <Dots wave="ripple" />
  <Center><TextReveal text="Hello" /></Center>
</AbsoluteFill>
```

Use for:

- Clean tech, SaaS and data scenes that want texture without lines
- Behind charts, code blocks and UI mockups

Avoid:

- A structured line pattern or a perspective floor. Use `grid`

Dependencies:

- `remotion`


## Props

| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| delay? | `number` | — | Frames to wait before entering. |
| duration? | `number` | — | Enter duration in frames. Defaults to 0.6s. Some items reuse `duration` for an unrelated local timing. See that item's own prop docs. |
| exit? | `number \| boolean` | — | Exit at the end of the parent `<Sequence>`. `false` keeps it on screen, a number sets the exit length in frames. |
| motion? | `MotionPersonality` | — | Override the theme's motion personality. |
| poster? | `boolean` | — | Renders fully entered, with no exit: for a still frame or thumbnail. Defaults to `false`. |
| holdFrames? | `number` | — | Delays the start of the exit window by this many frames, for a minimum on-screen hold. Defaults to `0`. |
| background? | `string` | — | Base fill. Defaults to the theme background. |
| color? | `string` | — | Resting dot color. Defaults to the theme foreground at low opacity. |
| waveColor? | `string` | — | Dot color at the crest of the wave. Defaults to the theme accent. |
| spacing? | `number` | `40` | Distance between dots in design units. |
| size? | `number` | `2.5` | Resting dot radius in design units; crest dots are about twice as large. |
| wave? | `"none" \| "sweep" \| "ripple"` | `"sweep"` | `sweep` sends diagonal bands across the frame, `ripple` sends rings out from the center. |
| intensity? | `number` | `1` | Dot opacity multiplier, 0–1. |
| fade? | `number` | `0.6` | How strongly dots fade toward the edges, 0–1. |
| speed? | `number` | `1` | Wave speed multiplier. |
| style? | `CSSProperties` | — |  |
| className? | `string` | — |  |
