    Default How to easy create a squircle in Xara?

    Can't figure out also nothing found on Youtube other then rounded corners... Perhaps the newer versions have it standard but I'm using Xara Xtreme V5.

    Thanks

    Create a square. select curved corners and adjust the curvature.
    It is approximate to a squircle by this amount: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ded_square.svg.

    The best I can find would be this generator: http://www.procato.com/superellipse/.

    I am not sure if this is what you want, but it works with almost every version of Xara.

    Not to go off topic (which means this is about to go a little off topic), but in the future, it would be nice if Xara included a lot of their external smart shapes as built in, especially the square in which you can change the curvature of each corner. It's a nice feature. We can, of course, build these shapes ourselves with a grid and couple of shapes, but it's nice to not have to rely on DLC to make a spiral or a square with 3 rounded corners via single-click-actions.

    It is not off-topic as the OP has failed to come back with a thanks.

    Xara is highly unlikely to add variable corners to rectangles as a built-in function in the same way it has failed to make lines with heads and tails align to the apexes of these rather than the line ends...
