Japanese Pattern generator in Motion
The Japanese Pattern generator creates a pattern of overlapping waves or congruent
circles.
Adjust this generator using the controls in the Generator Inspector:
• Japanese Pattern: A pop-up menu that selects the generator pattern. There are two
choices:
• Seigaiha (Waves): Creates a pattern of radial gradients.
• Shippo: Creates a pattern of overlapping circles that are divided into quarters.
• Gradient Editor: Controls (available when Japanese Pattern is set to Seigaiha [Waves])
that define the gradient fill of the overlapping circles. See Gradient editor controls in
Motion.
• Vertical Spacing: A slider (available when Japanese Pattern is set to Seigaiha [Waves])
that sets the vertical distance between the overlapping circles.
• Leaf Color: Color controls (available when Japanese Pattern is set to Shippo) that set
the color of the “leaves” in the pattern circles.
• Radius: A slider (available when Japanese Pattern is set to Shippo) that defines the
width of leaves in the pattern. The larger the Radius value, the larger the leaves.
• Contrast: A slider (available when Japanese Pattern is set to Shippo) that controls the
transition between the colors of the shapes. A value of 1 creates the highest contrast
between the colors; lower values create less contrast, softening the shapes.
• Outside Shape: A checkbox (available when Japanese Pattern is set to Shippo) that,
when selected, creates a shape (in the color chosen in the Leaf Color parameter)
outside of each circle. If you see no difference in the pattern when Outside Shape is
selected, adjust the Radius value.
• Inside Shape: A checkbox (available when Japanese Pattern is set to Shippo) that, when
selected, adds a square (in the color chosen in the Leaf Color parameter) to the center
of each circle in the pattern.
• Center: A slider that sets the center of the generator pattern.
• Background Color: Color controls that set the background color of the generator.
• Size: A slider that sets the size of the overlapping circles.
• Board Angle: A dial that rotates the generator pattern.
