The `sprinkle` macro facilitates adding snippets to your pattern in bulk.
It is provided by [plugin-sprinkle](/reference/plugins/sprinkle), which is
part of [core-plugins](/reference/plugins/core) (so it is available by default).
## Signature
```js
macro('sprinkle', {
Array on,
Number scale,
Snippet snippet,
Number rotation,
})
```
## Example
<Example caption="An example of the sprinkle macro">
```js
({ Point, points, Path, paths, macro, part }) => {
points.a = new Point(0,0)
points.b = new Point(10,5)
points.c = new Point(20,0)
points.d = new Point(30,5)
points.e = new Point(40,0)
points.f = new Point(50,5)
points.g = new Point(60,0)
macro('sprinkle', {
snippet: 'button',
on: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g']
})
// Prevent clipping
paths.diag = new Path()
.move(points.a)
.move(new Point(points.g.x, points.g.y + 5))
return part
}
```
</Example>
