Layers and Frames

You can use Xara LX in two ways:

image\BULLET.gif To create normal drawings. To help you when creating complex drawings, you can use layers.

image\BULLET.gif To create animations as Animated GIFs. To do this, you create a series of frames in the Frame Gallery.

For normal drawings use a drawing document; for animations an animated document. You select the type of document when you create it. See Creating new documents for details.
