Yeah, that can be confusing.  That kind of pattern, as is boxed too, doesn't
repeat and so instead is "maxed" out beyond the unit radius, unless scaled,
so in a way the wording is correct.  Just not very understandable  :-)  but
understandable mistake I suppose.

Boxed, I see, is explained the same but does use the word "minimum".
