- Application Notes
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1. Graduated polygon fills are time-consuming under Corel Draw. When printing
- pictures containing such objects, ensure the "Fountain Stripes" value
- on the Print dialog is set to the minimum value that will produce a
- reasonable quality. For most pictures a value between 8 and 16 should
- suffice. Increase the value for pictures with high contrast.
