How should position adjustment in the Repeater work ?



  • I don't understand how the position adjustment works
    in the Repeater. When using a gradient, I expect the
    distance of objects to be controlled in a defined direction.

    Instead, the objects move in a direction for which I have
    no explanation.

    For example, when using the gradient for scaling, the object
    is scaled along the gradient. But with position, the objects
    don't seem to follow the gradient.

    @Subpath You have to set the Position values and the movement direction is determined by the direction of that point.

    Sorry, I'm still not clear about this.

    What does the position value do or what the position for?
    Its set a position thats clear. Based from the Origin Point ?

    What is the purpose of Movement? Direction ? In what Direction.
    .
    .
    But the most unclear to me is:
    Using Gradient with Movement and Direction with Adjust Position.
    Perhaps I may have a wrong thinking of ​​what's possible with a
    gradient in this case. Because using a gradient didn't work as expected.

    I'm using a linear gradient here in both Movement and Direction
    and expect the shapes to move linearly. But they behave
    unpredictably and certainly not linearly.

    This is the Gradient i use in both Movement and Direction.
