Summary |
Makes multiple copies of a graphic object, horizontally, vertically, or both. The offset between each copy can be specified as a combination of fixed and relative sizes making this a very powerful macro for all sorts of 'step and repeat' graphics. |
Example extract |
The macro shown below makes 11 copies of the selected object graphic (shown with a heavier outline in the diagram), each one at an 'offset' or 'step' from the last of half the width of the box:

|
offset x:n |
Offset across. This can be specified as a combination of fixed and relative sizes, e.g. 1pt +w. |
offset y:n |
Offset down. This can be specified as a combination of fixed and relative sizes, e.g. 1pt +h. |
copies x1:n |
Number of copies across. |
copies y1:n |
Number of copies down. |
Example |
Copying in only one direction is achieved by just using one copies argument, e.g. make three copies across:
