The fill's path on an object's fill or line can also be varied for different
effects (see PagePlus Help).
Applying a gradient or bitmap fill
There are several ways to apply a gradient or bitmap fill: using the
Swatches tab, the Fill Tool, or the Fill dialog.
PagePlus can also produce automatic gradient fills based on applied
solid colours—giving you an almost unlimited number of gradient fill
choices.
The easiest way to apply a gradient or bitmap fill is to use one of a range
of pre-supplied swatch thumbnails in the Swatches tab's Gradient or
Bitmap palettes. The Fill Tool and a Fill dialog are alternative methods
for creating gradient fills.
To apply an automatic gradient:
1. Select an object with a solid colour applied to its fill and/or
outline (see p. 149).
2. Display the Swatches tab and ensure either Fill or
Line is selected (for an object's fill or outline, respectively).
Note that the colour of the underline reflects the colour of your
selected object.
