Sampling colours
Use the Colour Picker Tool to sample (and then reuse) a colour from
anywhere on your page. The picked colour can then be made the current
line or fill colour in DrawPlus.
Various sampling methods can be used depending on the type of object
fill or screen area to be sampled.
To sample colours:
1. On the Drawing toolbar, click
Colour Picker.
2. From the context toolbar, choose a Colour Picker Type (e.g., Point
Sampler).
3. (Optional) If you use the Square or Circle Sampler, set a Colour
Picker Size appropriate to the area you want to sample.
Gradient Sampler offers a Gradient Picker Sensitivity option, for
controlling the level or detail to which the gradient is sampled.
4. Hold the mouse button down, and drag to the target area then
release. For gradient sampling, rather than clicking, you sample by
dragging a line across your chosen colour gradient.
The sampled colour(s) is picked up in the Colour tab's Picked
Colour swatch.
