Spraying linear patterns along a line
Corel DESIGNER lets you spray a series of objects along a line. You can spray graphics, text, or imported bitmaps or symbols.
You can control how a sprayed line appears by adjusting the spacing between objects, so that they are closer or farther apart from each
other. You can also vary the order of objects in the line. For example, if you are spraying a series of objects that includes a star, a triangle,
and a square, you can change the spray order so that the square appears first, the triangle second, and the star third. The program also lets
you shift the position of objects in a sprayed line by rotating them along the path, or by offsetting them in one of four different directions:
alternating, left, random, or right. For instance, you can choose a left offset direction to align the sprayed objects to the left of the path.
You can also create a new spraylist with objects of your own.
The Linear pattern sprayer tool lets you repeat objects along a line.
