torn paper problem compile [closed]

I read this article about how to make a torn paper effect. So I tried the code below, but some errors arise.

% This is the base for the fractal decoration. It takes a random point between the start and end, and

% raises it a random amount, thus transforming a segment into two, connected at that raised point

I confirm what @PaulStanley is saying: if you use the correct, i.e. complete code, and replace, as pointed out in this comment shade=bilinear interpolation by shading=bilinear interpolation, the code works find. (According to what I find the result is great also without any bilinear interpolation.)

I confirm what @PaulStanley is saying: if you use the correct, i.e. complete code, and replace, as pointed out in this comment shade=bilinear interpolation by shading=bilinear interpolation, the code works find. (According to what I find the result is great also without any bilinear interpolation.)

Thank you both!!! I didn't notice the missing deftornpaper#1{% ifthenelse{isodd{value{mathseed}}}{ from the code or the problem with shade=bilinear interpolation. Thank you!!!

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the problem related to a typographic error and the substance was already dealt with fully in an answer linked in the question.

OK. Should I delete this question?
