Scriptographer script for replicating existing objects in a block repeat pattern
How to use: run script, chose tiling parameters
(optional: make a "Tiles" layer, and do "generate Tiles"
select your objects and click "Assign Shapes"
Create an output layer and make it active
run "Replicate"
(optional, hide original shapes)
Hints for most regular results: (not that you need to want that!)
Place source objects in the bottom left tile.
Make the num of columns and the %drop multiply to an integer.
Make the num of rows and the %shift multiply to an integer.
Leave on of %shift or %drop equal to zero.
If using %drop, use even num rows.
