770 Chapter 9 Using the Replicator
Shape: A pop-up menu that defines the shape of the replicator. The default shape is
Rectangle. The shape options include Line, Rectangle, Circle, Burst, Spiral, Wave,
Geometry, Image, Box and Sphere.
Note: Different parameters are available depending on what is selected from the Shape
pop-up menu.
Arrangement: A pop-up menu that defines the layout of the elements within the
replicator pattern. When the Shape parameter is set to the default Rectangle, the
default arrangement is Tile Fill. The Arrangement parameter is available only when
Shape is set to Rectangle, Circle, or Image.
Think of the Arrangement parameter as necessary only when you need to specify how
elements are arranged in a closed shape (a circle, rectangle, or image). If Shape is set to
Line, for example, the elements appear along that line—there is no “space” within
which to arrange the pattern’s elements.
Different parameters are available depending on what is selected from the
Arrangement pop-up menu.
