symmetry_axes: (Array).

    - X symmetry: [true, false]
    - Y symmetry: [false, true]
    - Full symmetry: [true, true]

Colors tip: You can define each color density setting the same color multiple times. For example to create an image with aproximately 75% white cells and 25% red cells you can do:

svg = RubyRandimage.create( title: "ruby rand image", num_cells: 8, colors: ["#fff", "#fff", "#fff", "f00"], symmetry_axes: [true, true])
