## Reflection limits

Reflection limits determine the axes about which the database geometry is reflected. The Reflect operator attributes window has three reflection limits controls; one for each dimension. You will usually want to reflect plots using the dataset min value, which you set by clicking the Use dataset min radio button. When using the dataset min value to reflect plots, the reflected plots will touch along the reflected edge. You can also specify another axis of reflection. When using a custom axis of reflection, the reflected plots will not necessarily touch. This option, though not normally needed, can produce interesting effects in animations. To specify a custom axis of reflection, click the Specify X, Specify Y, or Specify Z radio buttons and enter a new X, Y, or Z value into the appropriate text field.
