The Replicator

To change the build style of the replicator:

m

In the Replicator tab of the Inspector, choose By Row from the Build Style pop-up
menu.

The Build Style parameter arranges the pattern from left to right, top to bottom. With
this Build Style selected, each object in the pattern is unique. Depending on your
monitor and other factors, some of them may appear to be the same, but there are
subtle differences.

Experiment with different Origins and Build Styles to examine the various ways in
which the replicator pattern is built. Not all Origins allow Build Style selection.

When you have finished experimenting, change the Origin back to Upper Left and
Build Style back to Across. Now, add another parameter change to the
replicator: Angle End.
