Tile/Mirror

Left: A bitmap
Middle: Tiling the bitmap
Right: Tiling and mirroring the bitmap

Tiling and mirroring are useful for creating patterns based on a simple image. Use them when you need wallpaper and other repetitive designs.

You set tiling values in the UVW Map modifier.

The Mirror option is a variation on the Tile option. Tile repeats the image side-by-side, while Mirror flips the image repeatedly.
