Example 11 — Special effects with modes (Trailing modes)
Modes, like Rotate and Roll, are used to create special effects with
messages. Typically modes are used once at the beginning of a message.

NOTE: The following can not be used as a trailing mode: Condensed
Rotate, Scroll, Slide, Snow, and Spray.
