Hi Michael,

So "typical" grip could be for changing spacing and another type of grip (we have two kind of grips now - for scaling the image and for rotating the one) for extending the included area "discretely".


>>Is it because you have more of an area in mind that you want to have filled in?

Perhaps yes. I think it is quite useful. For example a dish drainer or a bathroom mat are this kind of stuff... You want to fill some area with objects while searching for a "form", i.e. spacing and number of copies. Anyway, the new Array-Dir command seems quite helpful from that point of view.
