Fills 219
Fractal clouds fill. On the left a grain of 1, on the right a grain of 50.
Fractal plasma fill. On the left a grain of 5, on the right a grain of 50.
Note the difference between grain and resolution. Grain controls the flow of the
pattern. Resolution sets the size of the fractal bitmap and how noticeable the
individual pixels are.
You can change the start and end colors of a fractal fill. Select the center or outer
handles and then apply a color using either the Color Line or
COLOR GALLERY. To
cancel any applied color, apply no color.
Multi-stage color graduations
Many of the graduated color fill types support multi-stage graduation fills, which
means instead of just fading from one color to another, you can go through a number
of different color fill stages.
To add a new color stage to a graduation, select the Fill Tool so the fill arrow shows
and then:
• Either drag a color onto the fill arrow where required.
• Or double click on the fill arrow to create a new fill handle, and now click a color
or display the
COLOR EDITOR.
You can re-position the fill handles by dragging.
With one fill handle selected pressing "Tab" will select the next. If the
COLOR EDITOR
is open, this is updated to reflect the new fill handle
