      Thanks for your offer. Since I'm not in a hurry, it won't be a problem for me
      if you find the time sometime later to do a little tutorial in the tutorial section
      on how to create such designs in the repeater.

      Until then, I will continue to follow this thread with interest and welcome
      your ideas for improving and expanding the repeater.

        @VectorStyler "Maze patterns" are great, but "Maze halftone" is less common. The ones I've seen are usually just a Maze pattern with added stroke width effects, rather than utilizing grayscale variations. hope VS can incorporate both "Maze" and "Maze halftone" functionality.

        Reference:
        MazeGenerator can generate mazes online for free. It offers four different shapes and three styles. Commercial use requires need a commercial license.

        Maze Creator has four versions, with the free version only offering two styles.

          There doesn't seem to be any way to achieve reaction-diffusion halftone within the Repeater. So, I'm gathering some information to see if it's included in the roadmap. Repeater lacks halftone types related to morphogenesis, such as TSP and Voronoi etc.

          I really like Reaction-diffusion halftone, and I have purchased some software specifically for creating it. There are two excellent ones, namely Stochaster and TexTuring. Additionally, there are some free options available. Let me introduce one that I particularly like to use. Repeater is powerful, if it's support for Reaction-diffusion halftone, it offers access to a wide range of capabilities that many other software programs simply cannot match.

          Stochaster
          https://www.stochaster.org/stochaster.html
          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc9oOXGqH1Y
          0_1714907381041_Stochaster.png

          TexTuring
          https://ivan-murit.fr/project.php?w=texturing
          sources available on GitHub (https://github.com/ivangrozny/TexTuring)
          https://player.vimeo.com/video/145301542?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0
          0_1714907844655_TexTuring-1.svg
          0_1714907968338_TexTuring-2.svg

          Stochaster offers more features but lacks support for vector export, while TexTuring has fewer features but supports vector export (PDF, SVG). They have some differences and similarities in terms of functionality.

          I really like this online open-source reaction-diffusion tool:

            @Li-Xiao I added this to the backlog. I actually considered this as an image effect, but it was postponed.
            Doing this in vectors could be a bit slow.

              Thank you, can be added to the image effects halftone. the computations in the image effects section are faster and more suitable.

                String Art generates fascinating designs, and there are also some free online tools available to create them.
                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBlSmg5T13M
                The two online generators I often use support SVG output.

                Btw, when opening SVG files with VectorStyler, transparency is lost.

                  @Li-Xiao These are for further down the road.

                  The opened a bug on the svg import issue.

                      i tried it also and get only a bitmap
                      seems a wrong file extension

                        It seems like uploading it again didn't make a difference.

                        The zip file should be fine now.

                            The Repeater is missing a fundamental feature: keep the original arrangement of all objects or text.
                            Lately, I've been needing this frequently, but I can't find any method in Repeater; I have to resort to using other software.

                              @Li-Xiao This would not be a repeater feature anymore, but something else. I have a new feature planned for the next version, that is a "live" adjustment to a group of objects, using the adjustment tools of the repeater.

                                Btw, in the recent versions, adjusting number values for Blended shape in the Repeater does not work.

                                  I will try to find out what can cause this.

                                    I cannot replicate this. Can you send me a file where the number value is not adjusted? Thanks!

                                      @VectorStyler Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately. I didn't explain clearly. I meant multiple blended shapes, not a single blended shape. I couldn't find the files I make on before. I'll redo them when I have some time and send them to you.
