Applying pattern fills
You can fill objects with vector or bitmap pattern fills, as well as two-color fills.
A two-color pattern fill is composed only of the two colors that you choose. A vector pattern fill is a more complex vector graphic composed
of lines and fills. A vector fill can have color or transparent background. A bitmap pattern fill is a bitmap image whose complexity is
determined by its size, image resolution, and bit depth.
Corel DESIGNER provides a collection of vector and bitmap patterns that you can access. You can browse the available patterns, search
patterns by keyword, mark patterns as favorites, vote for patterns that you like, or copy patterns from the Content Exchange to your
personal library. For more information, see “Managing fills and transparencies” on page 319.
