Using the Replicator

625

The replicator parameters are dynamic—different parameters appear depending on
what shape is selected. For example, when Rectangle is the selected shape, parameters
appear that allow you to define the size of the rectangle, the number of rows and
columns in the rectangle, as well as the origin of the elements in the rectangle (if the
elements are arranged from the center outward, from right to left, and so on). When
Spiral is the selected shape, parameters appear that allow you to define the radius of
the spiral, the number of twists and arms in the spiral, the number of points (the
location on the shape in which the element sits) per arm, as well as the origin of the
elements in the spiral (from the center outward, or from the edge inward).
