• Slant — controls the degree of slant applied to duplicates. Positive values slant
duplicates to the right. Negative values slant them to the left. Slant accepts
values between –90° and 90°. However, as values approach the extremes, the
duplicate shape becomes a streak.
To create a transformed duplicate
1 Select the shape you want to transform.
2 Choose Shapes Duplicate.
Corel Painter creates a duplicate shape according to the specifications you’ve set.
This duplicate is now the selected shape. You can choose the Duplicate command
again, or press Command + ] (Mac OS) or Ctrl + ] (Windows), to repeat the
transformation on the new shape.
The oval shape was duplicated by using rotation only (left). The number 5
shape was duplicated by using translation, scaling, and rotation (right).
Combining shapes
You can combine shapes in various ways to achieve particular results. You can
compound two or more shapes to create a single shape. The resulting shape takes on the
attributes of the shape on the topmost layer. If the shape is filled, any overlapping areas
are not filled. Compound shapes can be used to cut a void in one shape using another
shape. You can release a compound shape, which reverts it to the original shapes.
