#ASTUTE GRAPHICS PLUGINS FOR ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR REGISTRATION#
Changing the registration radically re-positions the artwork if the artwork is still live. There is an option to use the registration point and that appears at first to have no use but you can change the result of the plugin by editing the symbol's registration point (you can see that when you edit the preset and move the object away from the center of the initial position). You can also preview the result which is quite useful. You can colorize the presets as well based on the color of the selected object or to an actual color (though sadly not randomized).
You can set the rotation to follow the path which is quite useful to create interesting frames etc. if you wish to have them range between 1/2 and 2 but I guess you can set the item up and then scale between 1 and 4 instead to get the same ratio). You can also vary the scale and rotation which is useful so you can make all the presets between twice the size and the actual size (not totally flexible. Set to 2 to create large as well as very small designs. You can change the overall scale of the selected preset though you could do that at the actual creation of the preset as well as setting the angle / rotation. There is a variants feature which is useful but that requires you to use a naming convention for the presets and that can be found on the Astute website as there are many interesting features you can add simply by naming them in different ways but it is a fairly obscure language setup. You have a dot section but you can select the required preset from a list which sadly is not visual so you better name your shapes / presets in a sensible manner. I am certain that many others will find the quality slider of a lot of use. Actually the quality is probably my least used slider in the plugin.
There is also a quality section which reduces or increases the quality of the generated result but I have not noticed much difference (it is subtle). The density controls how many or how few of the objects that are generated within the space of the selected path. The dialog comes with a large number of options such as a seed (which randomizes the whole thing but usefully you can store the random seed and return it via the store and recall as well as skip through the various stored random seeds which is very useful). You can see the dialog when you select a path or paths and go to the effects menu > Stipplism. You can use anything as a preset, so type, brush strokes, multiple paths, images, compound paths etc, all can be used with this tool just by converting them into a preset. It is a live effect, you can modify it at any point and go back to the settings by selecting the artwork and then clicking on the entry in the appearance panel (which can be found in the window menu) Presets
In the panel, select a preset to use and set density and overall scale and click OK. Select a normal path for the tool to work. You can find it via the Effects menu and Stipplism. The symbol stipplism plugin tool is from Astute Graphics and is for Illustrator and is the second part of the set and is great for manipulating symbols and paths in 1000s of ways such as creating halftone effects, random scatter and much more.
