Changing elliptical fills

image\EDITELLF.gif

Elliptical fills are controlled using a pair of fill arrows with fill handles on the ends and at the center. The center handle controls the position of the fill and one of the two colors. The outer two handles control the size of the fill and the other color. Elliptical fills are very similar to circular fills, except that the second fill arrow gives extra control over the shape of the fill. You can change the fill by moving the fill handles (to change the position and direction of the fill), applying different colors or altering the fill effect (the way the color changes across the fill). You can also use the Transparency Tool Transparency Type options to alter the color of objects underneath the filled object.
