Live Paint Bucket options
The Live Paint Bucket options let you specify how the Live Paint Bucket tool works, choosing whether to paint just fills,
just strokes, or both, as well as how to highlight faces and edges as you move the tool over them. You can see these
options by double-clicking the Live Paint Bucket tool.
Paint Fills Paints the faces of Live Paint groups.
Paint Strokes Paints the edges of Live Paint groups.
Cursor Swatch Preview Displays when you choose a color from the Swatches panel. The Live Paint Bucket tool pointer
appears as three color swatches: the selected fill or stroke color plus the color directly to the left and right of it in the
Swatches panel.
Highlight Outlines the face or edge the cursor is currently over. Faces are highlighted with a thick line and edges are
highlighted with a thin line.
Color Sets the color for the highlight. You can choose a color from the menu or click the paint swatch to specify a
custom color.
Width Specifies how thick to make the highlight.
Close gaps in Live Paint groups
Gaps are small spaces between paths. If paint leaks through and paints faces you did not intend, you probably have a
gap in your artwork. You can create a new path that closes the gap, edit existing paths to close the gap, or adjust the gap
options in the Live Paint group.
You can avoid gaps in your Live Paint artwork by overdrawing paths (that is, extending them past each other). You can
then select and delete the excess edges that result, or apply a stroke of “None to them.
Highlight gaps in a Live Paint group
Choose View > Show Live Paint Gaps.
This command highlights any gaps found on the currently selected Live Paint group, based on your gap options settings
for that group.
Set Live Paint gap options
Choose Object > Live Paint > Gap Options and specify any of the following:
Gap Detection When selected, Illustrator recognizes gaps in Live Paint paths and prevents paint from flowing
through them. Note that this may slow Illustrator when working on large, complex Live Paint groups. In this case,
you can choose Close Gaps With Paths to help speed Illustrator up again.
Paint Stops At Sets the size of the gap paint cant flow through.
Custom Specifies a custom Paint Stops At gap size.
Gap Preview Color Sets the color for previewing gaps in Live Paint groups. You can choose a color from the menu,
or click the color well next to the Gap Preview Color menu to specify a custom color.
