Resizing and re-positioning bitmap fills
Once the fill has been created, you can drag
anywhere on the image to re-position the fill inside
the shape.
When you mouse over the outer fill handles the
mouse pointer changes into a "rotate" mouse
pointer. Dragging on these handles will stretch and
rotate the bitmap fill with the current aspect ratio
locked; hold down "
Å„" while dragging to change the horizontal and
vertical size independently and to skew the fill.
The InfoBar shows you the resolution of the
bitmap fill (you can adjust this, and thus the
bitmap size, by entering a new value).
An example
To fill the ellipse on the left with the photo in the center;
1.
Drag the photo or bitmap file from Windows Explorer (or from the Bitmap Gallery if it is already
used in the document) over the ellipse, and drop it while holding down "Shift". The Fill Tool
becomes the current tool.
2.
You can now adjust the angle and size of the image by dragging on the Fill Handles.
The above example has a simple shadow - see the chapter on the Shadow Tool
for more information.
