Filling an area with color

To fill an area with color:

1. Click on the Fill tool in the tool palette.

2. If you want to fill with a pattern, select the desired pattern from the pattern palette.

3. Determine the fill color by clicking the appropriate mouse button in the drawing area:

   • Mouse button 1 fills the area with the foreground color. (It fills with black in monochrome mode.)

   • Mouse button 2 fills the area with the selected pattern using a combination of the foreground and background areas.

   • Mouse button 3 fills the area with the background color. (It fills with white in monochrome mode.)

Filling with the <Ctrl> key depressed replaces the color of all pixels that match the pixel under the pointer. The fill color corresponds to the mouse button you click.
