Changing the position of a color in a multi-stage fill

Applies to Linear, Circular, Elliptical, Conical and Diamond fills. Multi-stage fills let you have several different colors in your fill. So, a fill could run red-green-red yellow; you have full control over the colors used and where the colors change.

The Fill arrow shows a handle for each color in the fill.

1. Drag the color handle along the arrow.

Notes:

image\BULLET.gif Conical fills have a semicircular Fill arrow. Other fill types have straight Fill arrows. Always drag colors along the arrow.

image\BULLET.gif Elliptical and Diamond fills have a pair of Fill arrows. You can apply colors to only one of these arrows. (The arrow that was horizontal when you created the fill - this is the "primary" arrow.)

image\BULLET.gif The Selector Tool can also display the Fill arrow. See Enabling fill handles.
