Colors, Gradients and Patterns
Each object in raphicGraphic is composed of one or more vector paths. Object paths are drawn by drawing the line around the path (Stroke) and drawing the area inside of the path (Fill).
Strokes are drawn based on their width and color. Fills can be either a color, a gradient, or an image.
Stroke and Fill Colors

The Stroke and Fill color wells in the toolbar can be used to set the current stroke and ll colors. Drawing tools will use these colors when creating new objects.
When objects are selected, the stroke and ll color wells update to the colors used by those objects. Changing the stroke or ll colors while objects are selected will change the objects’ colors.
To disable the drawing of an object’s stroke or ll, you can set the color to ‘none’ ( ). Color Palette
