212 Color, Fills, and Transparency
Working with gradient and bitmap fills
Gradient fills provide a gradation or spectrum of colors spreading between two
or more points on an object. A gradient fill has an editable path with nodes that
mark the origin of each of these key colors. A bitmap fill uses a named bitmap—
often a material, pattern, or background image—to fill an object.
Linear
Elliptical
Conical
Bitmap
You can apply preset gradient and bitmap fills from the Swatches tab to shapes,
text frames, table cells, and to any artistic, frame, and table text. Using the Fill
tool from the Attributes toolbar's Fill flyout (or from Format>Fill), you can
vary the fill's path on an object for different effects (see PagePlus help).
Applying different transparency effects (using the Transparency tab) won't
alter the object's fill settings as such, but may significantly alter a fill's actual
appearance.
Applying a gradient or bitmap fill
There are several ways to apply a gradient or bitmap fill: using the Fill Tool, the
Swatches tab, or a dialog.
The easiest way to apply a gradient or bitmap fill is to use one of a range of pre-
supplied swatch thumbnails in the Swatches tab's Gradient or Bitmap palettes.
The Fill Tool and a Fill dialog are alternative methods for creating gradient fills.
To apply a gradient or bitmap fill using the Swatches tab:
1. Click the Swatches tab and ensure the Fill button is selected.
Note that the color of the underline reflects the color of your selected
object.
2.
For gradient fills, select a gradient category, e.g. Linear,
Elliptical, etc., from the Gradient button's drop-down menu.
