multiply


Purpose
To make copies of the currently active part of the tree.

Usage
Click the multiply button to activate it. Now, you can use any transform function any number of times to transform the currently active copy to a position or stage required. Clicking multiply again will fix the position of the copy, then the following prompt will appear in the status area:
multiply factor ?

In response to this prompt enter the number of required copies (including original and copy on screen). Then the next prompt will appear in the status area (only when more then 2 copies):
multiply in (y/n) ?

In response to this prompt enter y (yes) if you want the new copies to fall between the original and the copy on the screen , or enter n (no) if you want the new copies to be extrapolated along the path from the original to the copy on the screen .

Comments
Always complete a multiply operation by switching it off (clicking multiply again). To escape from the multiply operation with no copies, enter one for the multiply factor.
