XColour Tutorial (see "naming the parts" thread)

[Egg Bramhill]

Brian Etherington has produced XColour to allow all parts of an image to have names and named colours. This is great for traced bitmaps but can be used for other XaraX drawings as well. (Provided theres no fancy bevels or gradients I suppose, but I haven't tried this yet.)
One of the problems at first appeared to be that even after tracing, running thru XColour and reimporting into XaraX was that there was still a vast number of named colours. Far to many to work with!
This tutorial is to show you how to use XColour and a method of keeping the named colours to a limited number.
