648 Chapter 9 Using the Replicator
The following options are available in the Shape pop-up menu:
• Line: Elements are positioned on a line. Using the onscreen controls (with the Adjust
Item tool) or the Inspector, you can specify the length and location of the line. In the
Inspector, you can set a specific number of points on the line—one element is
positioned at every point (including the end points of the line). The Line shape
displays additional Start Point, End Point, Points, and Offset parameters.
• Rectangle: Elements are positioned in a rectangle along its outline, or in a tile or
random fill pattern. Using the onscreen controls (with the Adjust Item tool), you can
specify the size and location of the rectangle. Drag the corners to adjust width and
height; drag edges to adjust width or height independently. When Rectangle is
selected, the Arrangement parameter becomes available. Depending on the selected
Arrangement, the Rectangle shape displays additional parameters.
