Using the Replicator

Over Pattern: Elements are tinted based on how they are ordered in the pattern. The
Gradient Editor defines the range of color of the pattern, beginning with the leftmost
color in the gradient, and progressing through the range of colors until reaching the
rightmost color at the end of the pattern. Gradual color changes do not appear in
each element, only across the pattern as a whole. An Opacity control also appears
above the color gradient.

Note: For more information on the Colorize parameters, see “

Additional Replicator

Cell Parameters Based on the Selected Color Mode

” on page 671. For more

information on using the gradient controls, see “

Using the Gradient Editor

” on

page 485.

Pick From Range: Elements are tinted at random, with the range of possible colors
defined by the Gradient Editor. A point on the gradient is randomly chosen, so the
relative sizes of each color region determine the frequency of the color being used.

Take Image Color: Each element’s color is based on the color of the image at the
position of the element point. This mode is only available when an image in used as
the replicator shape.
