This tip shows how a bunch of shapes can be used to create an irregular image frame. Used technics are Duplicate / Multiple Duplicate of shapes, combining them as polygones and then to an image frame.
- Create a rectangular shape. In the example, it has a width and a height of 16 mm. Of course, any other type of shape can be used.
- With the menu command Item > Multiple Duplicate, create 7 duplicates with a horizontal shift of 18 mm and a vertical shift of 0 mm.
- Group the resulting 8 rectangulars.
- Mutiply the resulting group again, 5 times, a horizontal shift of 0 and a vertical shift of 18 mm. This results in a two-dimensional group of rectangulars, looking like a fence.
- At your option, ungroup the first row of rectangulars and change the position of the first rectangular. Resize it, rotate it, or whatever you like.
- Now, select all the rectangulars and "combine the polygons"
- Apply Item > Convert to > Image frame
- Last, but not least, load an image into your new image frame.
