Cross-Fading Two Objects
Cross-fading creates shapes and distributes them by uniform increments between two drawing objects.
The cross-fading command is only available in $[officename] Draw. You can, however, copy and paste cross-faded objects into $[officename] Impress.
To cross-fade two objects:
- Hold down Shift and click each object.
- Choose Edit - Cross-fading.
- Enter a value to specify the number of objects between the start and end of the cross-fade in the Increments box.
- Click OK.
A group containing the two original objects and the specified number (increments) of cross-faded objects is displayed.

Illustration for crossfading
You can edit the individual objects of a group by selecting the group and pressing F3. Press Command Ctrl+F3 to exit the group editing mode.
