Replicator parameters are dynamic—different parameters appear in the Inspector
depending on the layout type you choose in the Shape pop-up menu. For example, when
Rectangle is the selected pattern shape, additional parameters appear in the Inspector
that allow you to modify the size of the rectangle, the number of rows and columns, and
other attributes. When Spiral is the selected shape, parameters appear that allow you to
adjust the radius of the spiral, the number of twists and arms, the number of points per
arm (the locations on the shape where the elements sit), and other attributes.
Further, different parameters are also available depending on the selected arrangement
for the shape. Very different looks can be achieved by changing only a few parameters.
After replicators are modified, you can save them in the Library for later use. For
information on saving custom replicators to the Library, see Saving Custom Replicators
to the Library.
