Repper turns the selected part of a source image into a pattern. Changing the selection is the most common way to explore the pattern possibilities of a source image.

Where is the sample selector?

Under the Pattern Tab (1) you will find the Sample selector (2).

The shape in the centre is the part that will be repeated. Depending on which of the Tilings you have selected, it may be a rectangle or triangle.
