Filling objects and stroking lines with
white, black, and none
To fill or stroke with white or black,
select the White or Black option, respec-
tively. You can also adjust the percent-
age, or tint, of black by typing a number
in the text box or by adjusting the Tint
slider until the shade is as you want it.
Using the White option produces the
same results as choosing a CMYK mix of
0%. Using the Black option produces a
one-color black of 100%, with no cyan,
magenta, or yellow.
If you do not want a path to be filled or
stroked, select
the None option (the left-
most color selection option, which has a
slash through it) from the palette. This
option makes the fill or stroke transpar-
ent. When you first start Illustrator, the
stroke attribute is set to None by default.
