January 2015 Video Tutorial -- Tracing Is Not Cheating!

[Gare]

Hi Eric, I've attached my own Xara file. I did not use Slice because it does indeed produce a weird and undesired product, but to tell you the truth, all these slice and dice features are Boolean operations, and frankly when I first opened Xara, I noted that "Slice" is not in the vocabulary of Boolean ops. It could mean that the vocabulary from the quite limited Boolean phrase book is wrong. The only have stuff such as "A plus B" which is Add, and "A without B" which is subtract. So if the leaf is the desired result, all I did was do an Intersect and the leaf is a valid, proper shape.

I've got an example on page two that shows it you want an array of a specific value of squares, like a chess board, if your source square has an outline, you'll get a different value thean if you create the array with a copy function.

My Best,

Gary
