Think of the Arrangement parameter as necessary only when you need to specify how
elements are arranged in a closed shape (a circle, rectangle, or image). If Shape is set to
Line, for example, the elements appear along that line—there is no “space” within which
to arrange the pattern’s elements.
Arrangement set to Tile Fill
(default) Arrangement set to Outline Arrangement set to Random Fill
Different parameters are available depending on what is selected from the Arrangement
pop-up menu.
Columns: Defines the number of vertical columns in the pattern. Pattern elements are
distributed at points along the columns. This parameter is available when the selected
shape is closed, such as Rectangle, Circle, or Image, and when Arrangement is set to Tile
Fill. It is also available for Box and Sphere when Arrangement is set to Outline.
Note: The default Columns value limit is 20. You can set a higher number in the value
field in the Replicator tab of the Inspector.
Default number of 5 Columns and 5
Rows Columns set to 3 and Rows set to 7
Rows: Defines the number of horizontal rows in the pattern. This parameter is available
when the selected shape is closed, such as Rectangle, Circle, or Image, and when
Arrangement is set to Tile Fill. It is also available for Box and Sphere when Arrangement
is set to Outline.
Note: The default Rows value limit is 20. You can set a higher number in the value field
in the Replicator tab of the Inspector.
