Changing bitmap fills

image\EDITBMPF.gif

Bitmap fills are controlled using a pair of fill arrows joined at one end with three associated fill handles. The arrows point from the center of the bitmap to its top and right-hand edges and so control its position and the angles of the sides of the bitmap. The central fill handle controls the position of the bitmap. You can change the fill by moving the fill handles (to change the position, direction and stretching of the fill), applying different colors to the bitmap (to achieve a contone effect), altering the way the bitmap is tiled and changing the resolution (size) of the bitmap. You can also use the Transparency Tool Transparency Type options to alter the color of objects underneath the filled object.
