Stagger is a Siceliot effect.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Gives each copy Clone to points stamps its own value, from Minimum on the first copy to Maximum on the last.
Wired into Clone to points’ own Scale, Rotation or Opacity, or into Label points’ Change, Label scale, Text step or Label rotation, it gives each stamp or label its own value, for up to 4096 points.
