State

The principle of continuity states that elements arranged on a line or curve are perceived as continuing along it.

Show

Two crossing lines are seen as two lines passing through each other rather than four segments meeting.

Watch for

Continuity applies to smooth paths. Sharp direction changes break the grouping.
