Changing the colors in conical fills
After creating a conical fill you can easily change the start and end colors. Alternatively you can create a multi-stage fill.
To change the colors in a conical fill
Simply drag a color from the Color Line or the Color Gallery onto the filled object. When over the object, the shape of the mouse pointer shows which side of the cone the color will be applied to:
Dropping the color will apply it to the end handle (one side) of the conical fill
Dropping the color will apply it to the start handle (the other side) of the conical fill
Tips
You can also apply colors direct to the fill handles. Click on a fill handle to select it and then either:
click on a color on the Color Line,
or double-click a color in the Color Gallery,
or select a color in the Color Gallery and click Apply.
Caution: if there are no fill handles selected, these methods create a flat fill.
If you have several objects selected, you can select all fill handles of a particular type (for example all the start handles) by CTRL+Shift-clicking on one of the handles. Use Shift-click to deselect a handle or select an unselected handle.
