Using the Replicator

Tile Offset: Specifies the amount (in percentage points) that the elements are offset
from the pattern. Values from 0 to 100 percent offset the rows toward the right, and
values from 0 to –100 percent offset the rows toward the left. A value of 50 or –50
percent creates a “brickwork” pattern. This parameter is available when the
Arrangement parameter is set to Tile Fill.

Origin: Specifies how the elements traverse across the pattern from a point of origin.
For example, when set to Left, the elements sweep across the pattern from left to right.
When set to Upper Right, the elements traverse from the upper-right corner point of
the shape to the lower-right corner. This parameter is available when the Arrangement
parameter is set to Tile Fill or Random Fill.

When Rectangle or Image is chosen from the Shape pop-up menu, the Origin options
are:

Upper Left: The elements originate in the upper-left corner of the pattern and end
in the lower-right corner.

Upper Right: The elements originate in the upper-right corner of the pattern and
end in the lower-left corner.
