It can be seen from the graphs that the phase difference between the two profiles can be used to determine not just in which direction, but how much to change the focus to achieve optimal focus. Note that in reality, the lens moves instead of the sensor. Colours are used purely for clarity and do not represent any particular wavelength.

In (b), Orange wins the urban district while Plum wins the rural districts — the 2-1 result reflects the state-wide vote ratio.
In (c), gerrymandering techniques ensure a 2-1 win to the state-wide minority Orange party.
