Hi All, How many of you have downloaded and test the stack "Eps Import v05B"
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TL5QP5WD Please, download this compressed folder to show you a really useful property for vector graphics. Open the stack "eps_import_v05B" and click in the topleft button to import the adobe ilustrator file named "Gradients" that appears inside the same folder as the stack. A new stack is created with the polygonal graphics filled with different gradients... Now, comes the interesting part. Did you noticed that in the new created stack there are some circular shapes filled with radial gradients? Remember that these are polygonal graphics, not circles. Grab any of these circular graphics for a corner and enlarge it... Now all the rough edges becomes apparent in the enlarged figure. You could convert this rough circular figure in a true vector circle with a single step: Select the enlarged vector graphics and open the Properties Inspector panel. Then, inside this panel, change the Type of graphic from "Polygonal" to "Oval" Now, you have an Oval graphic instead of a rough polygonal graphic. You could do the same with the "Rounded Rectangle" (and set the correct corner radius) and "Regular polygon" (and set the angle and number of sides) This apparent simple conversion opens a whole new world of oportunities to create polished interfaces using gradients and vector graphics... Please, do some test and report your results. If there is any glitch in the linear and radial gradient import process, report it to look for a solution. Post a link to the ilustrator file (version 7 or inferior) to download and check the file in detail. Notice that I use the graphics software named Xara to create these ilustrator (version 7) files. Have a nice weekend!
