Pattern Reference Point
The pattern reference point is a position on the logical page
at which the base pattern is positioned for tiling. The
upper left corner of the base pattern is positioned at this
point (see Figure 5-10). The default pattern reference point
is position 0,0. However, it is possible to set the pattern
reference point to the current cursor position. This allows
the pattern to be positioned or adjusted for fill areas. The
pattern reference point may be shifted more than once for
as many fill areas as there are on a page (the area must be
filled before the tile point is moved for the next fill area).
Figure 5-11 shows two areas filled with the pattern
reference point fixed at the default (0,0) position. The lower
portion of the illustration shows two areas in which the
pattern reference point was moved to the upper left corner
of each area and the area filled separately.
