Basics – Repeaters
Most use cases for Paragraphic will involve repeating elements in patterns in one way or another, and this is done by what is called Repeater layer nodes. The Repeater nodes take the existing content of the layer and adds repeated copies of it to let you create patterns of various types. This video gives you

Basics – Layers and Elements
Individual shapes and other objects in layers are referred to as elements in Paragraphic. When you draw a simple shape, like for example a circle, this results in a new layer for the shape in your document. This layer in turn generates a circle shape element as it’s output. Layers The layers are represented in
