I'm using Coreldraw 9, and trying to figure out if it is possible to draw a pipe (like a water pipe) using a silver gradient fill (to make it look round) then curve the pipe 90 degrees and have the gradient curve with it. I'm trying to draw a realistic set of waterpipes...the problem is they are not all straight, they curve and bend and must maintain the color gradient when they do this. <br />

This would work if I could add a color gradient to a line that I bend, but lines don't seem able to have a color gradient applied.

CorelDraw 9 How do I draw a curved pipe and maintain the color gradient

Illustration software is distinguished from photo-editing software in that the result is an original construction, rather than the manipulation of a photograph. Illustration software uses vector-based tools such that the content is stored digitally as resolution-independent mathematical formulae describing lines (open paths), shapes (closed paths), and color fills, strokes or gradients. Vector paths are constructed of anchor points and path segments. Illustration tools typically create precise lines, shapes and patterns with well-defined edges and are superb for working with complex constructions such as maps and typography.
