modify the horizontal values, and another instance to modify vertical values.
The Offset property value is used to offset the transformations by a specific number of copies. For example, if the Copies value is 10 and the
Offset value is 3, then the original shape is transformed by 3 times the amount specified in the Transform property group, and the last copy is
transformed by 12 times the amount specified in the Transform property group.
Animating the Offset property is a good way to easily create interesting results.
The Composite option determines whether copies are rendered above (in front of) or below (behind) the copies that precede them.
Use the Start Opacity value to set the opacity of the original shape, and the End Opacity value to set the opacity for the last copy. Opacity values
for copies in between are interpolated.
If you place the Repeater after a path, above the fill and stroke property groups for a shape, then the set of virtual copies is filled or stroked as a
compound path. If you leave the Repeater below the fill and stroke, then each copy is filled and stroked individually. The difference is most
apparent with gradient fills and strokes.
Add a Wiggle Transform path operation after a Repeater operation to randomize (wiggle) the position, scale, anchor point, or rotation of the
repeated copies within an instance of the Repeater. If the Wiggle Transform path operation precedes (is above) the Repeater path operation,
then all of the repeated shapes will be wiggled (randomized) in the same way. If the Repeater path operation precedes (is above) the Wiggle
Transform path operation, then each of the repeated shapes will be wiggled (randomized) independently.
Eran Stern provides a video tutorial on the Creative COW website that shows how to use the Repeater operation.
Chris Zwar provides an example project on his website that uses the Card Dance effect and a shape layer with the Repeater operation to simulate
a halftone color separation for any image or video.
