Xara Webster - Timing Redraw

With Xara Webster you can easily time how long it takes for your drawings to be displayed on the screen. CorelXARA is a very fast drawing package and Xara Webster is no different. If you want to see how much faster Xara Webster and CorelXARA are than other drawing packages, read on...

To time redraw

  1. Open your drawing.
  2. Zoom in and move the document until it is at the required size and position.
  3. Press CTRL+SHIFT+T.
This redraws the document and displays the timing on the screen.

To make a fair comparison between Xara Webster and other packages :

  • Turn off anti-aliasing by setting the Quality slider to Normal and set the dithering method to ordered dithering. This sets the screen display quality to be the same as other packages.
  • Use a document that does not contain any transparent objects as documents containing them take a little longer to redraw.
