New versatile and improved Spiral Smart Shape

[gwpriester]

Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 11 only

The Spiral SmartShape (Insert > Shape > Spiral) just got smarter.

A new control point along the rings of the spiral itself lets you switch back and forth between a logarithmic and a Archimedean (evenly spaced rings) spiral.

Rotate the outside point anti-clockwise to add more rings or clockwise to reduce the number of rings.

Drag the inside end control point to adjust the width of the starting ring size.

I would buy Photo & Graphic Designer for this cool feature alone (though I am confident it will be in Designer Pro X11 when it is released).

My hat's off to whomever came up with this ingenious SmartShape.
