Fill, Lines, Colours, and Transparency 151
To edit an object's fill colour(s) and tint:
1. Right-click the object and choose Format>Fill....
2. (Optional) From the dialog's Model drop-down menu, choose a
different colour model (e.g., RGB sliders).
3. Depending on the selected colour mode, use the Colour Wheel,
Colour Picker, or combination of slider and colour spectrum (or use
the input boxes) to set your colour value. When using the colour
spectrum, click anywhere in the window then drag the marker around
to fine-tune your colour selection.
4. Click OK.
An Opacity level can be applied to your fill at the same time that a
colour is applied; this leads to powerful colour/opacity combinations
on solid fills, or on gradient and plasma fill paths. (See Setting opacity
on p. 166.)
For gradient or bitmap transparency effects (see p. 170), use the
Transparency Tool or Transparency tab.
Exact colour values can be set in a Colour Selector dialog available
by either double-clicking a Colour tab's swatch or from
Format>Fill....
To apply no fill:
Set an empty interior for objects by using the:
• Colour tab: Click No Fill in the bottom-left corner of the Line/Fill
Swatch.
- or -
• Swatch tab: Choose the first swatch, None, from any gallery.
