    I have always had to do things simply. Theories and formulas go right over my head.

    I tried every kind of fill possible but when I used these for my depth image they did not work. Some fills looked like they would work but when I made the stereogram most were not right and went off of different directions.

    Finally I tried blends using 2pt lines that were slightly larger then used Add Clipview to precisely trim the blends.

    It's not a perfect solution and you can see it the stereogram the ends sometimes kind of twist.

    Later today, I will try some of your solutions as depth images and post the results.

    Lightbulb Re: Recreate this fill

    Gary, got there!

    Same as before - just draw a Line, width 96px.
    Create the graduated fill Ribon, which I reduced to 10%.

    The Trick - create an Art Brush with only the given definition colours.
    I yhink if you did it this way, you also included a Profile to the Ribbon.
    Apply to the Line.

    Do forgive the fact I drew the Line the wrong way round to yours in the first. I then flipped the Ribbon around to get the second. Perfect blending and no cutting!

    Too late, but got there in the end. Used the line (80px, Mitre join, Butt cap) and art brush technique as per Acorn. The colour is a bit off, but could be adjusted by making a new art brush.

    I'm totally baffled by the Art Brush approach. Can you give me a few steps?

    Gary, keep the end shape as a Line.

    Design a Box with a graduated Fill and create an Art Brush from that.
    Keep the Width something like 32px: 256 x32px works for me.

    The rest is down to imagination: Art Brushing a Line.xar

    Gary, I now see why you will find this gem very useful for your depth images.
