Table Of Contents
No Repeat:No option to configure, the object does not repeat.
Static Repeat:
l Horizontally
l Number of repeats:Enter the number of times you want to repeat the object or group along the horizontal
axis.
l Space between each repeat:Enter the amount of space to leave between each repeat of the object or
group, along the horizontal axis.
l Vertical
l Number of repeats:Enter the number of times you want to repeat the object or group along the vertical axis.
l Space between each repeat:Enter the amount of space to leave between each repeat of the object or group,
along the vertical axis.
l Expand to make a grid: Select this checkbox to have PlanetPress Design use the values you enter in the Number of
repeat boxes to create a table rather than a single row and/or column. The number of horizontal repeats, plus one for
the source object, becomes the number of rows in the table. The number of vertical repeats, plus one for the source
object, becomes the number of columns in the table. The total number of cells in the table is equal to the number of
rows times the number of columns.
Line Repeat (not available for PDFdata files):
l From line: Enter the line on which the repeat starts.
l To line: Enter the line at which the repeat stops. The value "0" means it will repeat until the end of the current data
page.
You can also click the Use Data Selector button to select the line range.
l Repeat choice: Select the axis or axes along which PlanetPress Design repeats the source object or group.
l Select Horizontal to create the repeats along the horizontal axis, starting to the right of the source object or group and
progressing towards the right.
l Select Vertical to create the repeats along the vertical axis (a column), starting below the source object or group, and
progressing towards the bottom of the document page.
l Select Both, horizontal first to create the repeats along both the horizontal and vertical axis, starting with repeats
along the horizontal axis first (a table, constructed row by row).
l Select Both, vertical first to create the repeats along both the horizontal and vertical axis, starting with repeats
along the vertical axisfirst. Use the Iterations per row/column box to set the number of repeats in each column.
l Horizontal displacement: Enter the amount of space between each repeat of the source object or group, along the
horizontal axis.
l Vertical displacement: Enter the amount of space between each repeat of the source object or group, along the ver-
tical axis.
l Iterations per row/column: Enter the number of repeats in each row (if you selected Both horizontal first in
Repeat choice) or in each column (if you selected Both vertical first in Repeat choice). This option is available only when
you select either Both horizontal first, or Both vertical first in Repeat choice.
l Use the Iterations per row/column box to set the number of repeats in each row.
l Iteration condition: Set a condition on the current line of data. This is effective only within the line range defined in
the From/to line property. It determines whether the data selections of the element that PlanetPress Design is currently
processing and that reference that line or record appear in the output. If a data selection does not appear in the output
(the condition resolves to False), PlanetPress Design inserts a blank space for it in the element. If the source object or
group contains a data selection object, and you do not want a blank space to appear when the condition you set here
resolves to False, you can set a line condition in that data selection object to remove the blank space. Any condition set
on the source object or group takes precedence over this condition. In other words, if a condition set on the source
