Wave Length Sets the length of each wave, in active units.
Phase Offsets the phase of the wave from its origin at the ripple object's center.
Whole values have no effect; only fractional values do. Animating this
parameter makes the ripple appear to travel through space.
Decay When set to 0.0, the ripple has the same amplitude or amplitudes
throughout world space. Increasing the Decay value causes amplitude to
diminish as distance increases from the position of the ripple warp object.
Default=0.0.
Display group
The options control display of the Ripple warp object's icon. They don't change
the effect of the ripple.
Circles Sets the number of circles in the ripple icon.
Segments Sets the number of segments (pie slices) in the ripple icon.
Divisions Adjusts the size of the ripple icon without altering the ripple effect
as scaling would.
Flexibility parameter (Modify panel)
The Ripple space warp also has a Flexibility parameter that you can adjust
individually in each bound object's stack, at the Ripple Binding level. The
parameter belongs to each binding; it doesn't appear with the Ripple warp
parameters.
