Seigaiha Japanese circles pattern
This sample file shows how you can recreate this classic Japanese circle pattern using multi-level repeater patterns and applying a color gradient to set the color of the repeated circles. It also serves as an example of how you can work with creating seamless patterns and use the pattern repetition preview mode to see your

Truchet tile pattern
This sample file show how you can recreate this classic truchet tile style pattern with full parametric control, allowing you to dynamically change the number of bands, tile size and randomization of the tile orientations. The example makes use of document parameters and linking them to expressions to control parameters, using groups and instances to

Gradual shape change examples
This sample file is a collection of simple examples that shows of different methods for gradually changing a shape over a repetition by setting up properties to change with the index of the element in the repetition line. The examples also make use of the new relative index values and index function node added in

Dynamic value visualization
A number of different simple examples of how you can make custom value visualizations for use in info-graphics or similar projects. Example of using custom document parameters and connecting these to control various types of repeaters, scaling or other values to represent the values graphically. There’s also a longer Youtube video with step by step

Fruit pattern
A grid pattern using different fruit images in sequence, takes from a reference group with the individual fruit layers. Example of using Group layers, Repeater indexes and Instance layers using the pick from group setting, to create an instance of a selected element from a linked group layer. A similar technique and result can also
-
Seamless randomized pattern
A simple grid pattern with randomized elements as an example of how you can use Paragraphic to make seamless tiling patterns using the tiling repetitions preview and different techniques. Example of both using connections to link the repetition pattern to the artboard size to make it line up perfectly, and to use the seamless repeater

Ants on a path
An imported ant svg shape is repeated along an editable free form path. A linked instance of these ants is then added below and assigned a different randomized color to work as a shadow of the ants. The linked instance layer will update with any changes to the original parent layer, so any changes to
-
Line ray burst
A ray burst of random length lines in a circular burst pattern. This is created by first generating a line of shorter lines that are randomized in length and then packed with a set spacing. This is then repeated in a circle and each repetition given a different random seed to produce a different random
-
Vector halftone Earhart
A simple vector halftone raster effect based on a photo bitmap image. Example using the Area repeater to create a grid pattern of points and then using the Apply layer node to scale each point using a separate image layer to get a halftone effect. For more information and inspiration about working with custom vector
-
Isometric cube pattern
A pattern of isometric cube shapes generated based on a dynamic size, color and spacing properties. Example combining different repeaters and change nodes, using variations of a single color as well as using custom document parameters to control a design.
