Applying bitmap fills
You can use any of the bitmaps in the Bitmap Gallery or Fill Gallery to fill an object. You can then scale, recolor or skew the bitmap fill as required.
To apply a bitmap
fill
1. Select the object (see Selecting objects).
2. On the Utilities menu, select Fill Gallery or Bitmap Gallery to open the gallery.
3. In the gallery click on the bitmap to be used as a fill. This selects it.
4. Click the Fill button in the gallery.
You can then use the Fill Tool to adjust the bitmap fill; see Changing bitmap fills.
Tips
If you apply a bitmap fill using
the Fill Gallery, Xara LX imports and adds the bitmap to the Bitmap Gallery
for you.
You can double-click on a bitmap
in either gallery to apply it to the selected object. (CTRL-double-click
closes the gallery afterwards.)
You can also drag-and-drop a bitmap
from either gallery onto any object, selected or unselected.
You can also choose bitmaps using
the Fill Tool. This is particularly useful is the bitmap is already used
in the document.
To apply the bitmap fill to an object
inside another object, hold down CTRL as you drop the bitmap. See apply inside.
