Here are the designs for a number of friezes, all based on a 1x1cm square. I have used a line width of 0px so the squares can be seen in design mode.

If you examine the friezes, you will see, I have:
  • Used Names specially labelled as filename="" to ensure Xara creates the fewest bitmaps possible.
  • Included Named Colours, so you can alter for your needs.
  • Soft-grouped patterns to show how you can achieve friezes at any scale (not vectors, just HTML DIV tags).
