Where's the point to this?

Seriously? Or are you joking? If you're serious, I'm not sure which ellipse looks square. Could you show me?

Oops! Slap me, please. Never mind... I get it! Very good, btw.

[and thanks for the rest!!!]

Bob,

I think that the "square" end is very natural. All these pencils I had as a kid started off with a round rubber (eraser) but ended up twisted and gnarled, just like yours.

Mind you, pencils with rubbers ... luxury.

(I'm not sure how this post will read across the Atlantic!)

I like it so much. I am glad you start to use layers. And I`d like to add to your piggy bank one more trick.

Egg, it read just fine over here...

Valery - that is GREAT!!!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!! I don't understand one thing, however. How were you able to edit the repeating fill's position? In other words, how did you get the white closer on one side and farther on the other? I only see a profile adjuster that changes the shading (?) but there is no other adjuster to move the bars.
Gotta tell ya - I have struggled with this angular shading for quite and while and tried different ways, but this technique of yours is GREAT!!!!!

Thank you both for the kind words.

Drifter - have a look at this.

Move the nodes around - add and delete nodes, change fill angle.
Have a play.
I'm going for a coffee ...

Aye yi yi!!!!!!!!!! How stupid am I?! Of course! He didn't edit the profile; he added more! Thanks, Intbel, I just didn't think of that, although I use it all the time. SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell, I do it all the time.
I ask someone how they do something, then realise 'tis something I do regularly but hadn't considered applying that technique to that particular task. Then feel a right idiot.

Six fill options here ... numer of options available? No-one knows ...
