Contours
Creating contours around objects is easy
with the Xara Xtreme Contour Tool. Contouring is a special effect which adds evenly-spaced concentric rings inside
or outside an object. These rings can be made to fade in to the background, or progress through a rainbow of colors.
When you have applied a contour to an object, if you resize or alter the object, the contour changes with it. The contour itself can be edited and you can change any of its properties, including the distance between the steps, the number of steps, contour width and profile.
The Inset Path button lets you convert your contoured object into a larger or smaller shape, removing the actual contours. This gives you more flexibility than simply resizing an object, as it deals with thickness as opposed to size.
