Lines, Curves and Shapes 39
The noughts and crosses example was flooded with colour using the
Flood Tool. The tool flooded the noughts, crosses, squares and border
objects even though they were separate items. You could also easily
flood any traces that you have done with the Pen Tool.
Areas are flooded by pixels and the shapes you create then become
editable like any other object you might want to transform.
Specifying flood settings
There are some settings that accompany the Flood Tool which can be
specified before or after you have flooded.
To specify flood settings:
1. On the Drawing toolbar, click the arrow next to the
Freeform
Paint Tool.
This will display the Vector Edit Tools flyout.
2. From the flyout, select the
Flood Tool.
3. On the Context toolbar, specify the settings shown below.
