Repeat Gap

If the Auto Repeat Gap box is checked, the gap between repeat markers is given by 7 times the line width. If this box is not selected, the gap will be given by the length specified in the adjoining box. For example, in Figure 9.11(a) a line has an end marker with a triple arrow with the auto repeat function selected. Since the line width is 1 , the gap between the markers is 7bp. In Figure 9.11(b) the line width is 2bp, so the gap between the markers is 14bp. In Figure 9.11(c), the line width is 1bp and the repeat gap has been set to 10bp and in Figure 9.11(d) the line width is 2bp again with a repeat gap of 10bp.

Figure 9.11: Repeat gap: (a) line width of 1bp and auto repeat gap; (b) line width of 2bp and auto repeat gap; (c) line width of 1bp and repeat gap set to 10bp; (d) line width of 2bp and repeat gap set to 10bp.
