      [continued from previous message]              key, draw a circle starting at the "Handle to guide intersection" at the center       of the grid until the "Handle to Path" or "Handle to guide" 'x' appears at the       intersection of the nineteenth (19th, both vertical and horizontal) lines from       the grid center, maintaining thin (0.01 mm) stroke width; zoom to selection       [3],       deselect [Esc], then draw a another circle starting at the center until the 'x'       appears at the first (1st) grid lines from grid center; select all [Ctrl+A], in       Path click "Object to Path" [Shift+Ctrl+C], in Extensions > Generate from path,       "Interpolate" Exponent 1.0, Interpolation steps 17, "Live preview" and in a few       moments, nineteen (19) concentric circles appear grouped together, click Apply,       close "Interpolate" window, in Edit click "Delete"[Delete] to remove the first       two (extra) inner and outer circles; lock layer, save, and close file [Ctrl+W]       to clear "undo history"; reopen this file, zoom to page and add a fourth layer;              click "Draw Bezier curves and straight lines" [B] icon on the toolbox and draw       a horizontal line from the center of grid to the outer edge on the right side,       in Edit click "Duplicate"[Ctrl+D], select all [Ctrl+A], in Object click "Align       and Distribute" [Shift+Ctrl+A], and Relative to "First selected", click "Align       right edges of objects to left edge of the anchor" to move copied line segment       to left side of grid center, in Object "Group" [Ctrl+G]; holding control[Ctrl]       key, select left line segment, in Object "Transform" [Shift+Ctrl+M], in "Move"       set Horizontal -1.000 mm, click Apply, select all, click "Align and Distribute"       [Shift+Ctrl+A], unlock grid layer, hold [Shift+Ctrl] and select grid, Relative       to "Last selected", click "Center on vertical axis", deselect all; select line       segment(group of 2), "Duplicate"[Ctrl+D], in Object "Rotate 90* CW", select all       [Ctrl+A], Group [Ctrl+G], Duplicate [Ctrl+D], Transform [Shift+Ctrl+M], Rotate       Angle +10.000*; again select all, group, duplicate, transform, rotate +20.000*;       select all, group, duplicate, transform, rotate +40.000*; finally, select all,       group, rotate +10.000*(note gaps for horizontal and vertical grid centerlines);       holding [Shift+Ctrl] to preserve aspect ratio, expand this radial grid so that       all lines extend just outside corners of image, set stroke width 0.01 mm; lock       all layers, save, close, backup; reopen file, zoom to page, add a fifth layer;              hide layers 1 , 2, and 4; unlock layer 3 (circles), select all, copy, deselect,       lock layer 3; in layer 5 click "Paste in Place"[Ctrl+Alt+V], ungroup, deselect,       and with guides enabled, select the smallest circle at center, hold the [Shift]       key and stretch the horizontal centerline selection handles one(1) guide square       outward, tangent to the next larger circle as indicated by the snap-enabled 'x'       and "cusp node to guide", resulting in a 2:1 integer-ratio ellipse; repeat this       step for each larger circle, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 6:5, 7:6, ... and so on until       19:18;       select all, set stroke width 0.01 mm; the largest circle (19) already exists in       layer 3, so delete it from layer 5; select all, copy, then add a sublayer under       current ellipse layer, paste in place, rotate 90* CW; lock and hide all layers;       save, close, reopen, zoom to page; show layers 1 (image) and 3 (circles); add a       sixth layer; starting at center draw a circle just large enough to circumscribe       entire image; set color fill to blue (hexadecimal RGBA #0000ffff), stroke width       zero(0), zoom to selection; in circle/arc toolbar set "Start" 355.000 and "End"       5.000, for a 10 degree circle sector centered on 0 polar degrees; in Path click       "Path Effects" [Ctrl+&], click "+" icon to "Add path effect", which opens "Live       Path Effects Selector"; click "Rotate copies", Number of copies 36, check Split       elements; press [Tab] key once to select next 10 degree sector counterclockwise       and set fill color to magenta (#ff00ffff); press tab, set fill to orange-yellow       (#ffbe00ff);
