•
Lower Left: The elements originate in the lower-left corner of the pattern and end in
the upper-right corner.
•
Lower Right: The elements originate in the lower-right corner of the pattern and
end in the upper-left corner.
•
Center: The elements originate in the center of the pattern and move outward. This
is the default Origin option.
•
Left: The elements originate at the left side of the pattern and end at the right side.
•
Right: The elements originate at the right side of the pattern and end at the left
side.
•
Top: The elements originate at the top of the pattern and end at the bottom.
•
Bottom: The elements originate at the bottom of the pattern and end at the top.
When Circle is chosen from the Shape pop-up menu, the Origin options are:
•
Center: The elements originate in the center of the pattern and build outward. This
is the default Origin option.
•
Edge: The elements originate along the edge of the pattern and build inward.
Note: The origin parameter also determines where the Sequence Replicator behavior
starts its animation. For more information on the Sequence Replicator behavior, see

Using the Sequence Replicator Behavior
Replicate Seed: Modifies the Random Fill pattern. Although the result of the Random
Fill option from the Arrangement pop-up menu seems random, it’s actually
deterministic. This means that the random variation in the pattern is created based on
the number shown here. Unless this seed number is changed, a replicator with the
same parameter settings and source object always appears the same. If you don’t like
the current random fill, you can change the seed number by typing a new number or
clicking Generate. This changes the random calculations performed for that pattern.
This parameter is also used to randomize the Shuffle Order parameter. For more
information on Shuffle Order, see “
Origin set to Center for a circle shape
