Fills and outlines
You can add colored, patterned, textured, and other fills to
the inside of objects or other enclosed areas, as well as
change the color of object outlines.
Object Properties docker
The Object Properties docker
(Window
Dockers Object
Properties) presents object-
dependent formatting options
and properties.
For example, if you create a
rectangle, the Object Properties
docker automatically presents
outline, fill, and transparency
options, as well as the
rectangle’s properties.If you
create a text frame, the docker
will instantly display character,
paragraph, and frame
formatting options, as well as
the text frame’s properties.
Fill types
You can fill objects with uniform, fountain, pattern, texture,
PostScript, and mesh fills.
Fountain fills have a smooth progression of two or more
colors.
You can also fill objects with vector
graphics (vector pattern fills) or
bitmap images (bitmap pattern fills).
Texture fills can simulate the look
and feel of natural materials such
as water, clouds, and stone.
PostScript fills are complex texture
fills that are created in the
PostScript language.
Mesh fills create smooth color
transitions to give objects
volume and realistic three-
dimensional effects.
To fill an object, choose the
type of fill you want in the Fill area of the Object
Properties docker, and choose the fill options you want.
To apply a mesh fill, use the Mesh fill tool .
Choose colors
A color palette is a collection of
color swatches. You can choose
both fill and outline colors by using
the default color palette. The
selected fill and outline colors
appear in the color swatches on the
status bar.
To fill an object with a solid
(uniform) color, click a color swatch on the color palette,
or drag a color onto an object.
To change the outline color, right-click a color swatch on
the color palette, or drag a color onto the outline of the
object.
To mix colors, select a colored object, press Ctrl, and click
another color on the color palette.
To choose from different shades of a color, click and hold
a color swatch.
You can also choose fill and outline colors from the color
dialog boxes by double-clicking the Fill button or the
Outline button on the status bar.
Color styles and harmonies
The Color Styles docker lets you add the colors used in a
document as color styles. To create a color style from an
object, simply drag the object onto the Color Styles docker.
Any time you update a color style, you also update all objects
using that color style.
