Anatomy of a Replicator

All replicators begin with a source layer: the layer in your project that is duplicated and
arrayed onscreen in a pattern. When you replicate a layer, two new layers appear in the
Layers list:

• A replicator layer that controls the onscreen pattern as a whole

• A cell layer that controls the individual elements in the pattern

The following sections explain the differences between replicators, cells, and the source
objects on which cells are based.
