To apply a gradient fill with the Fill Tool:

Fill Tool on the Attributes toolbar.

Line is selected (for an object's fill or outline, respectively).

4. Click and drag on the object to define the fill path. The object

takes a simple Linear fill, grading from the object's current

colour to monochrome white.

If the object is white already (or has no fill), grading is from white to

black.

1. With the object selected, click the

Fill Tool on the

Attributes toolbar.

2. On the context toolbar:

• Choose the fill type from the drop-down list. (You can also

apply a Solid or None fill type.)

Start Colour drop-down list, select a colour

or click More Colours to display the Colour Selector

dialog.
