The Fill Tool

Creating a graduated color fill

The process of creating a different fill is almost identical for all the fill types:

1. Select the object or objects to which you want to apply the fill.
2. Select the FILL Tool ("G").
3. Select the fill type from the dropdown menu.
4. Click-drag across the object to create the fill. Or, drag one of the fill handles to
adjust the fill size and position.
Xara Designer Pro X provides a smooth interactive live preview of the fill as you drag.

As you drag a fill arrow is created indicating the direction of
the fill. Fill handles can be selected and dragged to adjust
the position and angle of the fill.

Coloring fills
Select one of the fill handles and click a color on the COLOR LINE or bring up the COLOR
EDITOR and choose a new color. You can press "Tab" to alternate between the fill
handles.
