Applying linear fills

You can fill objects with any of LX's different fill types. Linear fills are useful for simple shading.

To apply a linear fill

1. Select the object (see Selecting objects).

2. Choose the Fill Tool.

3. Drag from where you want the fill to start to where you want the fill to end. During the drag a fill arrow shows you the start and end of the linear fill.

4. If you want a repeating fill pattern (like a series of bars), select Repeating from Fill Tiling on the Fill Tool Infobar.

Tips

This method does not work if the object already has a (non-linear) fill applied. In this case, choose Linear from the Fill Type drop-down list on the Fill Tool Infobar.

You can later move the start and end points and change the colors of the fill - see Changing linear fills.
