It still works Acorn but Ivan stated that it worked for bitmap and complex fill's which I can no longer get to work.Great egg, a rediscovery that still works 21 years on.

you can also come a cropper with winding rule:
beware the [fixed] winding rule.xar
so if you are doing complex lines that resolve into [in adobes terminology] compound paths you have to be rather careful - you may not get all the shapes you want when you break
this will often apply to cartoon line art

Yes I can see this would be an issue with fairly straightish lines HD.this will often apply to cartoon line art

ivan was still posting when I joined TG, we lost him to linux and inkscape as I recall, water under the bridge but I could see why...
anyway ... here is a file with no straight lines [not that there were any in the first file ]
because of the way xara mandates the winding rule where paths cross, I get something that looks like a poor imitation of picasso on a bad day and break does not give me the shapes I need - could be fixed afterwards, but for this sort of work might as well then do it the other way
more fun with the winding rule.xar
its a neat trick, good to be reminded of it, but I never got consistent enough results using it for this kind of work

Great tricks !
Also another solution in bitmap is clip paint.
It has an open gap algorithm with the paint bucket, priceless !
