Replicator parameters
The parameters in the Replicator Inspector give you complete control over every aspect of the
pattern created by the selected replicator. This includes the shape upon which the pattern is
built and the shape’s related parameters, such as the size of the pattern, how the elements are
arranged in the pattern, and so on.
Replicator parameters in the Inspector
•
Shape: The Shape pop-up menu sets the overall shape of the onscreen replicator pattern. The
default setting is Rectangle. Choose any of up to ten shape styles from the menu to alter the
distribution of the pattern elements.
Note: Depending on the item you choose in the Shape pop-up menu, additional controls
may appear in the Replicator Inspector. For example, when Rectangle is selected in the
Shape pop-up menu, the Outline, Tile Fill, and Random Fill options become available in
the Arrangement pop-up menu. These additional controls let you further customize the
chosen shape.
The Shape pop-up menu contains the following items:
•
Line: Elements are positioned on a line. In the Inspector, you can set a specific number
of points on the line—one element is positioned at every point (including the end
points of the line). The Line shape displays additional Start Point, End Point, Points, and
Offset parameters.
