Circle - Place Shapes in a radial pattern.

Custom -

Fibonacci - Place Shapes in a Fibonacci spiral pattern.

Grid - Place Shapes in a grid layout.

Intersections - Place Shapes where other shapes intersect with each other.

Linear - Place Shapes along a horizontal or vertical line.

Math - Use mathematical expressions to place Shapes.

Particle - Connect a Particle Shape to distribute Shapes onto.

Path - Place Shapes along a path.

Point - Place Shapes on a single point.

Random - Randomly position Shapes.

Shape Edges - Place Shapes along another Shape's edges.

Shape Points - Place Shapes on another Shape's points.

Sort - Rearrange the Ids of another Distribution.

Shuffle - Rearranges the Ids of a sub-mesh.

Sub-Mesh - Place Shapes using the positions of Shapes contained within a sub-mesh.
