Spraying linear patterns along a line

Corel DESIGNER lets you spray a series of objects along a line. You can spray graphics, text, or imported bitmaps or symbols.

You can control how a sprayed line appears by adjusting the spacing between objects, so that they are closer or farther apart from each other. You can also vary the order of objects in the line. For example, if you are spraying a series of objects that includes a star, a triangle, and a square, you can change the spray order so that the square appears first, the triangle second, and the star third. The program also lets you shift the position of objects in a sprayed line by rotating them along the path, or by offsetting them in one of four different directions: alternating, left, random, or right. For instance, you can choose a left offset direction to align the sprayed objects to the left of the path.

You can also create a new spraylist with objects of your own.

The Linear pattern sprayer tool lets you repeat objects along a line.

Increasing the value for the size of the objects to be sprayed along the line causes objects to become larger as they are distributed along the path.

Spraylists that have more complex objects use more system resources. Lines that contain complex objects take longer to produce, and these objects increase the file size. Using symbols for each group in the list can help reduce file size and the demands on your system. For more information about creating symbols, see Working with symbols.
