Fills 291

Three different black-to-white graduated color fills and their corresponding profile dialogs. The
center, default, is a linear black-to-white transition.

FILL HANDLE: Indicates if the start or end handle is selected. This field is blank for flat fills.

RESOLUTION (bitmap and fractal fills only) Shows the resolution of the bitmap (as long as
you don't have a fill handle selected). You can type in a new resolution to change the
size of the bitmap. Low resolutions show the individual pixels of the bitmap. You rarely
need a resolution greater than 150 DPI, even for typeset output.

FILL HANDLE COLOR: (except bitmap fills) Indicates the color applied to the selected fill
handle.

Changing the colors in a fill
To change a color in a fill:

• Drag & drop the color from the COLOR LINE onto a fill handle (you do not have to select
the handle first.)
• Or, drag & drop the color onto the object. Each fill has an imaginary center line halfway
along the fill arrow. Dropping the color on the start handle side changes the start
handle color, and the end handle side changes the end handle.
• Or, if one of the end handles is selected (it's shown highlighted) just click on a color.
You can press "Tab" to select the other fill handle, and click the color required for the
other end

The Color Line is described in Color handling (on page 189).
