Ah - that sounds good. And I guess if the two groups have the same rect and
the same gradient everything lines up nicely!

yes but those only work for a single graphic at a time, not for every corner
individually.
how about using a freehand polygon, and calculating the rounded corners
yourself? might be worth the effort, if you desperately need it to be a single
object.

Erm, the graphics would have the same rect, but the 'inner' groups are each
half of the full height of the 'outer' custom co
If you want to be flexible, you could place a circle with the desired radius at
each corner (or a square if wanted) and then draw a polygon from the relevant
points (from the middle top of the circle at the topleft to the middle top of
circle at topright and so on). The resulting group of elemen

Howdy,
One of the things I remember most fondly about SuperCard was its incredible
shrinker/expander polygon tool. With this tool it was a snap to surround a
group of objects, for example, and the tool would then automatically generate a
new polygon that fit tightly around the original group. A

Thanks Jan - intrigued, got mine working using the scrolling technique.
Can't do individual corners that are rounded only individual corners that
are square at the moment - I'll take a look at your technique and borrow the
best bits :)

Jan,
this is nice work. It's in my sample stacks now - works great.
nice to set the properties after creation. Easy to make a 'hatchery' for

I think I've seen all the previous replies. If so, here's a different, more
mathematical, approach that can be
combined with the gradient and other techniques mentioned before:
The main thing here is a function (pointsOfNorman, Norman because of the
resemblance to a Norman window) that returns
