Rectangle Pattern

Common Attributes +

Pattern Mode - set the distribution for the pattern:

• Line - distribute the rectangles along a line.

  • Use Fixed Size - when checked the bars will be scaled to fit the Size.

  • Size - set a fixed size for the Shape.

  • Gap Type - set the gap style:

    • Alternating - each gap is set by the Bar Size. In this mode, Count includes rectangles and gaps.

    • Fixed Width - each gap is set by the Fixed Gap Width. In this mode, the gaps are in addition to the Count.

  • Fixed Gap Width - set a fixed width for each gap.

  • Horizontal Alignment -

• Ring - distribute the rectangles along a ring.

  • Outer Radius - set the outer radius of the ring.

  • Inner Radius - set the inner radius of the ring.

  • Start Angle - set the start angle.

  • End Angle - set the end angle.

  • Gap Type - set the gap style:

    • Alternating - each gap is set by the Bar Size. In this mode, Count includes rectangles and gaps.

    • Fixed Angle - each gap is set by the Fixed Gap Angle. In this mode, the gaps are in addition to the Count.

  • Fixed Gap Angle - set a fixed angle for each gap.

Count - set the total number of rectangles and gaps.

Bar Size - set the size of the rectangles.

Note that a 'gap' is actually an empty rectangle so connecting, for example, a Random Behaviour to the Bar Size will create randomly sized rectangles and gaps.
