 Point Origin: Each vertex’s oscillation is generated from a point. You can change the
location of the point using the onscreen controls (dragging the small blue circle at
the center of the shape) or using the X and Y Origin parameters in the Inspector.
 Line: Each vertex’s oscillation is generated from a line. You can change the start and
end points of the line using the onscreen controls (dragging the small blue circles at
either end of the line) or using the Start and End parameters in the Inspector.
Randomize Shape
Randomize allows you to animate the control points of a shape by applying a random
offset to each point of the shape. This behavior is useful for creating rapid and varied
effects on a shape.
The shape
oscillates around
the location of the
point. The point’s origin can be animated
to create a more varied oscillation
effect.
Use the onscreen start and
end points to change the
position of the line.
