Fill types
Web Designer Premium has these types of color fill:
Flat fills
- the shape has an even color or tone over its surface.
Linear fills
- the color gradually changes from one color to another.
Circular fills
- the color change radiates out from a single point in a
circular pattern.
Elliptical fills
- similar to circular fills except the change radiates out in
an elliptical pattern.
Conical fills
- the color change rotates around a single point. The effect
is of a cone lit from one side with the opposite side in
another color.
Diamond fills
- similar to elliptical fills, except the fill is like a diamond.
Three-color fills
- shows three different colors as if spotlights were lighting
the object.
Four-color fills
- the same as three-color fills, except four colors are
possible.
Bitmap fills - the object is filled with one or more tiled
copies of a bitmap or photo. All photos you see in Web
Designer MX Premium are bitmap filled shapes (normally
rectangles of course). Any photo can be used, or any
bitmap in the Bitmap or Fill
galleries.
Fractal clouds
- produces a patchy random fill which is especially useful
for clouds or mist.
Fractal plasma
- a patchy random fill which has more contrast than a
fractal cloud fill.
The Fill
Tool lets you apply these fill types to the selected object(s) and to edit and adjust the fills.
Automatic select inside
In the Fill Tool, an automatic "Select inside" is performed when you click on an object that is a part of a
group, instead of selecting the group as a whole. This makes it easier for you to work on photos and fills
inside groups. If you want to change the fill attribute of a group (which is not very likely), you need to
select the group using the Selector Tool
first.
