Wave: Elements are positioned on a waveform. Using the onscreen control (with the
Adjust Item tool) or the Inspector, you can specify the length and location of the
wave. The Wave shape displays additional Start and End Point, Amplitude, Frequency,
Phase, Points, and Offset parameters in the Replicator tab.
•
Geometry: Elements are positioned along the edge of a shape, defined by a spline
object used as the shape source. The Geometry shape displays additional Shape
Source, Points, and Offset parameters in the Replicator tab.
For information on using geometry (a shape) as a replicator shape, see “
Geometry for a Replicator Shape
•
Image: Elements appear within an area defined by an image or along its border,
depending on what is chosen from the Arrangement pop-up menu. The image may
or may not have an alpha channel. If it does, the shape of the alpha channel can also
be used to define the pattern. When Image is selected, the Arrangement parameter
becomes available. Depending on the selected Arrangement, the Image shape
displays additional parameters.
