Rows:

Specifies the number of horizontal rows (or vertical element points) on a grid over

the selected replicator. In the case of an irregular shape (nonrectangular), points that fall
outside of the shape are ignored. This parameter is available when the Arrangement
parameter 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.

Ranks:

This parameter is available when Shape is set to Box (with Arrangement set to

Tile Fill or Outline), or Sphere (with Arrangement set to Tile Fill). When the Box or Sphere
shape is selected, specifies the number of points in Z space on a grid over the selected
replicator. In the case of an irregular shape (nonrectangular), points that fall outside of
the shape are ignored.

Tile Offset:

This parameter is available when Shape is set to Rectangle, Circle, Image, Box,

or Sphere, and Arrangement is set to Tile Fill. Specifies the amount (in percentage points)
that the elements are offset from the pattern. Values from 0 to 100% offset the rows
toward the right, and values from 0 to –100% offset the rows toward the left. A value of
50 or –50% creates a “brickwork” pattern.
