Changing the tiling of fractal transparency

Fractal Cloud transparency or Fractal Plasma transparency gives a random pattern to the transparency. The transparency can use either a single or multiple copies (or 'tiles') of the fractal. You can easily change this tiling.

1. Select the fractal filled object (see Selecting objects).

2. Choose the Transparency Tool.

3. Select one of these from the Transparency Tiling drop-down list on the Transparency Tool Infobar:

image\BULLET.gif Single Tile. This fills the object with only one copy of the fractal.

image\BULLET.gif Repeating Tile. This fills the object with a repeating copy of the fractal.

image\BULLET.gif Repeat Inverted. This is identical to the Repeating Tile option, but inverts (reflects) alternating copies of the fractal.

Tip
