Hi all,

I can't find any tutorial on that.
Can anyone show me a way to do it?
I found that : http://geda-online.com/tutorials/tape/

But I guess it's toshop.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hmm, sellotape/scotch tape isn't easy. This is the best I could do.

Make a rectangle very light gray, apply transparency stained glass
type several vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv tack on either end angle it and that's about it.
Love that picture of yours Frank

Hi nvictor,

I might be a little late with my reply, but here's another version...

In Xara make a rectangle.
In menu Arrange select "Convert to editable shapes".
Draw a line with the Freehand and Brush Tool. In the brush-selector choose one that's a little crumbled. I took the second one in the first row.
In the Arrange-menu choose "Change line to shape" and then "Convert to editable shapes".
Change the size as you want it. Duplicate the line and move it over the rectangle.
Select both shapes. Choose menu "Arrange - Combine Shapes - Subtract shapes". The line should now be subtracted from the rectangle and this shoul look now, as if it hase been wrapped off.
Clear the line from the rectangle.
Give it a light grey color.
Change the transparency to a value you like.

That's all. Not very hard, I think.
