I am playing around with the XX-beta since it was released. And I am finding out more and more of the good stuff.

Especially the 'profiles' give you great freedom and open up completely new ways to do things.

The "Radar Beam" below is noting more than a conical fill from black to green with some changes in the profile-sliders.

In this case, I set them to '0,9' (upper slider) and 0,24' (lower slider). And look how it completely changes good old conical.

To make the stuff around it and to animate it was a mere finger-training. All of course in Xara.

Has anybody else found out 'small' new functions that do great things ??
