Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 695)

The Shape pop-up menu contains the following items:
• Line: Elements are positioned on a line. Using the onscreen controls (with the Adjust
Item tool) or controls in the Inspector, you can specify the length and location of the
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.
• Rectangle: Elements are positioned in a rectangle along the replicator outline, or in a
tile or random fill pattern. Using the onscreen controls (with the Adjust Item tool), you
can specify the size and location of the rectangle. Drag the corners to adjust width and
height; drag edges to adjust width or height independently. When Rectangle is selected,
the Arrangement parameter becomes available. Depending on the selected
Arrangement, the Rectangle shape displays additional parameters.
