Blend tool
CorelDRAW
CorelDRAW lets you create blends between
objects, such as straight-line blends, blends
along a path, and compound blends. A blend
follows a progression in shape, size, and color
from one object to another through a series of
intermediate objects.
After you create a blend, you can fit the objects
from the blend along a new path, or you can
add one or more objects to a blend to create a
compound blend.
