Using the Replicator

Points: Defines the number of evenly distributed element points on the line or wave.
When the Adjust Item tool is selected, the points are visible in the Canvas.

Offset: Adjusting this value moves the elements along the line or wave.

Additional Wave Parameters

Amplitude: Defines half the distance from the highest point to the lowest point in the
wave. Higher values result in more extreme waves.

Frequency: Defines the number of waves. The default is value is 1.

Phase: A dial that defines the degree of offset of the waves from the start and end
points of the path. When set to 0 degrees (default), the wave begins and ends at half
the distance from the highest point to the lowest point in the wave. When set to 90
degrees, the wave begins and ends at the highest point in the wave. When set to –90
degrees, the wave begins at the lowest point in the wave. When set to 180 degrees, the
waves are the same as 0 degrees, but inverted.

Damping: A slider that progressively diminishes the oscillation of the wave. Positive
damping values diminish the wave forward (from left to right); negative values
diminish the wave backward (from right to left).

Default Frequency value (1)
