To set shape fill attributes
1 With the Shape Selection tool , click a shape whose fill attributes you want to
change, and press Return (Mac OS) or Enter (Windows).
You can select multiple shapes by holding down Shift while clicking the shapes.
2 In the Set Shape Attributes dialog box, enable the Fill check box to apply a stroke
to the selected shape.
To remove the fill, disable the check box.
3 Double-click the chip, choose a color from the Color dialog box, and click OK.
4 Adjust the Opacity slider to control the opacity of the fill.
5 Click one of the following icons:
• Fill Overlaps to fill overlapping areas of multiple shapes.
• Don’t Fill Overlaps to leave overlapping areas unfilled. Multiple overlaps
alternate between filled and not filled.
6 Click Set New Shape Attributes.
You can also specify some fill and fill color attributes on the property bar
when you select a shape with the Layer Adjuster or Shape Selection tool.
You can also use the Effects menu > Fill command
or the Paint Bucket
tool to fill a shape. Because these methods apply pixel data to the region,
Corel Painter first converts the shape to a pixel-based layer. For more
information, refer to “Filling an Area with Media” on page 163.
To set shape flatness
1 With the Shape Selection tool , click a shape whose flatness you want to change,
and press Return (Mac OS) or Enter (Windows).
You can select multiple shapes by holding down Shift while clicking the shapes.
2 In the Set Shape Attributes dialog box, adjust the Flatness slider.
3 Click Set New Shape Attributes.
Usually, it is not necessary to change the flatness setting. You may want to
change it to adjust for a particular high resolution printer or to avoid a
PostScript limitcheck error. Check with your output service to find out if they
have a recommended flatness setting.
