- I have an image which I want a number of identical tiles on top of, arranged such that the tiles start at an offset, then duplicate x number of times in the horizontal direction, and y number of times in the vertical direction. Additionally, I want multiple of these "tables" in the image.
- The basis is a tile, a layer (or layer group) that I want rendered in all these different locations in the image. I'd like to first set up the size of the layer and all of its positions, then begin drawing on it, and see every spot in the final image update according to the changes I make to the layer.
First creating the layer and then manually duplicating it into a number of new layers as a final step, is both time consuming, cumbersome and doesn't allow changing the layer later on without deleting all the duplicates and repeating the duplication process.

Repeat one layer as a tile
