HP L 5 manual Pattern Reference Point

Pattern Reference Point

The pattern reference point is a position on the logical page at which the base pattern is positioned for tiling. The upper left corner of the base pattern is positioned at this point (see Figure 5-10). The default pattern reference point is position 0,0. However, it is possible to set the pattern reference point to the current cursor position. This allows the pattern to be positioned or adjusted for fill areas. The pattern reference point may be shifted more than once for as many fill areas as there are on a page (the area must be filled before the tile point is moved for the next fill area).

Figure 5-11 shows two areas filled with the pattern reference point fixed at the default (0,0) position. The lower portion of the illustration shows two areas in which the pattern reference point was moved to the upper left corner of each area and the area filled separately.
