The Blend Specification parameters focus on one graphic component of the blend group, and that component's adjacent graphics. Each graphic of the blend group is denoted by an numeric index which shown in the Position numerical text box. The method for ordering the indices is controlled by the Order popup menu near the bottom of the palette. The color wells and line width controls are provided as a convenience short for modification individual blend components. The Color and Style Palette can be used in conjunction with this palette. Full access to both line and fill color as well as other style parameters are provide by the style palette for the focus blend component. The blend graphic that is affected by the Style palette is the one defined by the Position indicator.
![]() The matching of intermediate curves can generate interesting effects, or interesting problems. For this issue you might think of how a rectangle is blended with a pentagon. For best control you may want to overtly insert vertices to make sure they match up in the desired fashion. Also it is wise to generate a family of component curves by duplicating and scaling to hold aspect ratios constant. This insures that length matching performs as you might expect. |
