None of those!
I see steps (dark red, light red, lighter red...)
It has to fade gradually.

Well, your example has been shown twice in the thread.
If you do not desire the counter's steps, don't use a contour, or up the steps. Or simply draw a star and set the circular transparency...or provide a better example of what you do want.

ok - but contours are steps - if you don't want steps, don't use contours, or if you need to increase the size of a non-uniform shape by means of contours then make one shape of it before you apply the transparency - any good?
see Mike has got in there before me?

I was considering contour as the following definition:
"Noun
An outline, esp. one representing or bounding the shape or form of something."
1. Draw star
2. Feather it
Phil
yep feathering looks good.. although there is a pixel limit on how much you can apply
many meanings of the word contour - cartographic contour is another - guess there was confusion as you showed what looked like xara specific contours [as created by the contour tool] in your earlier examples

Thanks everyone.
That solved it, PhilM.
The feathering helped. Just playing a little with the "profile of the feather region" to make it more gradual.
Yes, the Contour Tool has a specific function, Handrawn, I forgot about that.
no problem - we got there in the end
