Plug-ins notes

'Pattern options': Creates multiple copies about the 'pattern options center'. A tile is created for 80% of the pattern options, though there maybe path overlapping issues that mean the tile is not an exact tile. Some of the pattern options are random center options. The pattern takes into account the shadow and sketch features but not the envelope (way too tricky) The start (on stars) is a useful way of changing the patterns (along with the other settings) but it changes the distance from the pattern center and changes the overall pattern.

Settings panel A number of different ON/OFF settings 'Opacity [R]': Randomizes the opacity of the paths 'Width [R]': Randomizes the line width (if set). Based on original line width to 0. 'Style [R]': Randomizes the graphic style applied to the star. This can be slow. It is best to apply with a little setup beforehand (perhaps setting up different styles to the default ones) 'Apply [R]': Randomizes the creation of bursts within a star. Great for creating unique star designs with gaps
