@omar,
Images in every programming language feel like how people joke about strings in Rust, where there are 800 different types of image that represent different kinds of views and ownership statuses and compression and memory layout (and you get different types of image from network / file / GPU / screen / 2D draw calls and are constantly converting between them to get stuff done)

Hmm it looks like some sort of fascist flag
![Measure program geometry. Now we need to tell Folk the exact geometry of an average program page how big is
the tag in each program? how far is the tag from the edges of the sheet of paper?).
Print a program that outlines itself, if you don't have one already. Fold the program in half if you want half-height programs. Measure the inner tag side
length and tag distances to the edges of the sheet:
