Defining line and fill colours
When you're applying a fill or line colour using the Studio's Swatch tab, you
choose a colour from one of several colour palettes, arranged as a gallery of
colour swatch thumbnails. Different palettes can be loaded but only one palette
is displayed at any one time.
Several of the colour palettes are based on "themed" colours while the remaining
palettes are based on industry-standard colour models, i.e.,
• Standard RGB: Red, Green and Blue (default).
• Standard CMYK: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. (For professional
PDF or image printing, optionally from a CMYK drawing.)
Applying a colour from any of the above palettes to an object will add that to
DrawPlus's Document Palette, a set of colours currently in use (or previously
used) in your document (plus standard colours). The Document Palette is
primarily used to reuse colours already in your document—great for working to
a specific "tailored" set of colours.
To complement the default standard colours (A) in the Swatch tab's Document
Palette, you can also store other palette colours (B), bitmap fills (C),
gradient/plasma/mesh fills (D), and colour spreads (E).
