coreldraw fountain fill question.

[Ross Lowry]

I am trying to fountain fill a rectangle, but the problem is that it dosen't fill it evenly all around the rectangle. On two of the sides the black will be all the way to the edges, and on the other two sides it will be faded like I want.
With a square this is a very simple procedure.
Any help would be appretiated.
Thanks

Try the Interactive Mesh Fill Tool. Might take a few minutes to learn how to use it, but it's a very powerful tool for shading.

Not sure what version of Corel you have, but I know it's in X3 and X4.

You might also go to the Fountain Fill Toolbox and make the "to" and "From" colors the same (whatever shading that you desire). I just did it using a light gray. You can select two different colors to fade to and from or the same color - I think that is what you want to do. There are two radio buttons - I chose the "Two Color" one. Experiment with that and see if it does what you need.

Thank you guys.
I forgot to mention I have Coreldraw 12.
I did it a little different.
I just created a lot of rectangles and filled each one with a different shade of color.
The attachment is just a trial and I will be doing a more extensive one later.
