  15 This manual is for `sketch', version 0.2 (build 161),
  16 Tuesday, September 08, 2009, a program that converts descriptions of simple
  17 three-dimensional scenes into static drawings. This version generates
  18 `PSTricks' or `PGF/TikZ' code suitable for use with the
  19 TeX document processing system.

  59 <pre class="example">     repeat { <var>n</var>, <var>T_1</var>, <var>T_2</var>, ..., <var>T_r</var> } <var>repeated_object</var>
  60 </pre>
  61    <p class="noindent">The repeat makes <var>n</var> transformed copies of <var>repeated_object</var>
  62 (including the original).  The <var>T_i</var> are transforms.
  63 <a name="index-transform-333"></a>The k'th copy of the <var>repeated_object</var> (for
  64 k=0,1,...,n-1) is produced in the
  65 same manner as for <code>sweep</code>s described in <a href="Sweeps.html#Sweeps">Sweeps</a>.  This is
  66 repeated here (no pun intended) for convenience.  To make the
  67 k'th copy, the following transform is applied to the
  68 original object.
  69 <pre class="example">     <var>T_1</var>^k then <var>T_2</var>^k then ... then <var>T_r</var>^k
  70 </pre>
  71    <p class="noindent">Here <var>T</var>^k means &ldquo;transform <var>T</var> applied k
  72 times.&rdquo;
