When a pattern is expanded, a group of objects is created and this group is clipped into the shape that originally contained the pattern fill. The group of objects contains copies of the pattern content, each positioned and clipped to a pattern tile determined by the tiling type. These objects are accessible for selection and editing, either by isolating the group, un-grouping or by using the direct selection mode if the pointer tool.
There are multiple pattern expansion commands available in VectorStyler, each with a distinct result. These are all accessible from the Pattern panel menu, with one command Expand Pattern Tiles being accessible from the Styles menu.
The alignment and resizing of the pattern content object to a pattern tile is determined by the pattern content frame. By default, a pattern content object will not contain a frame, and the frame is determined by the bounding box of the object. The frame can also be set by using a clipping shape on the group of objects defining the pattern content.
To set an custom pattern content frame, pick an object typically an invisible one from the group defining the pattern content, and designate it as a pattern content frame. In this case the positioning and scaling of the pattern content to a pattern tile is determined using the frame of the designated object and not the bounding box of the whole content.
To designate a pattern content object as a pattern frame, isolate the object so that individual member objects can be selected. This can be done by editing the original content object if object referencing is used , or by isolating the pattern content using Isolate Content command from the pattern menu. Select the object inside the pattern content, whose frame should be the content frame.
Once the object role is set, the pattern content will scale to the pattern tile position and size, by scaling the selected object bounding box to the tile.
Selecting a custom pattern content frame enables the design of pattern tiles that contain a portion of an object or a group of object, or insert a larger amount of spacing around the object automatically. Tiling Patterns Tiling patterns or just patterns are fill styles that fill a region inside of the shape, outline, or transparency mask by tiling a group of objects over the area. Given a bunch of little pieces, it is human nature to wonder how they fit together.
In the most general sense of the word, a tiling is just a way of decomposing some space into lots of little pieces tiles that fit together without gaps or overlaps. For example, even our bodies can be tought of as tilings in which the "tiles" are cells.
Land ownership gives a tiling of the surface of the earth! Tilings are literally everywhere. Farm fields "tiling" the surface of the earth Cement road tiles. A stone wall Honeycomb.
A brick walkway Onion root tip. Question : Identify ten tilings in the world around you. Which square—large, medium, or small—covers more of the plane?
Explain your reasoning. The area of this shape is 24 square units. Which of these statements is true about the area? Select all that apply. Here are two copies of the same figure. Show two different ways for finding the area of the shaded region. All angles are right angles. Show your reasoning. Lesson Let's look at tiling patterns and think about area. Pattern A is all blue tiles, pattern B is all yellow tiles, pattern C is a combination of blue and yellow tiles, and pattern D is a combination of blue tiles, yellow tiles, and blank spaces.
Your teacher will assign you to look at Pattern A or Pattern B.
