Changing conical fills

Conical fills are controlled using a single semicircular fill arrow with a fill handle on either end. Each end of the arrow has a color associated with it and the fill graduates radially from the color at the start handle to the end handle on the opposite side. There is a third fill handle in the center of the fill controlling its position. Drag the center handle to move the fill. You cannot select this center handle or apply color to it. Dragging the outer fill handles lets you resize the semicircle. Changing the size of the semicircle does not affect the fill itself - only rotating the semicircle alters the fill. You can change the fill by moving the fill handles (to change the position and direction of the fill), applying different colors to each side or altering the fill effect (the way the color changes around the fill). You can also use the Transparency Tool Transparency Type options to alter the color of objects underneath the filled object.
