{69} *e Blending
[…]
This Tag defines a blend. Between the square brackets there are 9 values separated by semi-
colon, i.e.:
*e[1364738882;27672;0;2;"green";0;0.9;45;0]
Only a few of these values are fixed definitions, the remaining values should be transferred
back to QuarkXPress as they were received.
1.
1364738882
the XTension ID, in this case from CoolBlends
2.
27672
blend ID, in this case Mid-linear blend
5.
"green"
colour name of the second colour of the blend
7.
0.9
shade 90%
8.
45
angle 45 degrees
The first colour of the blend is the normal background colour; it is defined by *B and the shade
by *b.
¶*T3*-0*B"cyan"*b1*e[0;10000;3;2;"yellow";0;1;0;0]*$¶*
T3*-0*B"cyan"*b0.6*|0*x200*X200*e[0;10000;3;2;"yellow";0;0.9;45;0]*$¶
creates a text box with a colour blend of 100% cyan (*B"cyan"*b1) to 100% yellow, not twist-
ed and a text box with a colour blend of 60% cyan (*B"cyan"*b0,6) to 90% yellow turned by
45 degrees.
*-0 checks that the box is not transparent otherwise the blend is not displayed. In this example
the XTension ID is zero; the internal QuarkXPress linear blend, without CoolBlends, will be
used. (You may see the colours in the PDF version of this manual.)
