Xara Xone Pool Ball step-by-step tutorial

Select the Fill Tool and click once on the large circle for ball #1 to select it. From the drop down list of Fill Types on the Infobar, select Circular. Using the Fill Tool cursor, drag the center of the fill to the upper left area of the circle to reposition the center of the fill. Click the center control handle (the square you just dragged) and change the color to the RGB color shown. Click the outside control handle and change the color to the orange color shown.

To mix the RGB colors shown above, press Ctrl e to open the Color Editor (or click the small color wheel icon to the left of the screen colors). Select RGB Color Model from the drop down list of Color Models. Enter the numbers in the text entry boxes. The first number (255 for example RGB 255, 153, 0) goes in the Red text entry box, the second 153 in the Green text entry box, and the third, in this case 0, in the Blue text entry box.

Select the fill with the Selector Tool (the arrow pointer) and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl c). Select the circular portion of the striped circle (#9) and press Shift Ctrl a (or Edit > Paste Attributes) to copy the orange fill to the circle. (We will change the color in a minute so do not worry that it does not match the illustration above).

With the fill and the Fill Tool still selected, drag guidelines from the screen rulers (Ctrl L to display the rulers) through the starting and end points of the fill path arrows as shown above. Select the stripe portion and Paste Attributes (Shift Ctrl a) to it. Reposition the fill path for the striped section to the guidelines you added to match the start and end position of the pasted attributes fill. Select the circle portion, and change the color to white and pale yellow. The fills for the stripe and the ball will now be matched.

The starting and ending positions for both fill path arrows should now match.
