Applying fills
You can apply eight different fill styles to objects in FreeHandBasic, Custom, Gradient, Lens, Pattern, PostScript, Textured, and Tiled. A fill of None is transparent.
A fill is contained within the boundaries of a path. If the path is open, the fill is contained within the boundaries drawn by an imaginary line between the beginning and ending points.

Each path or object can have only one fill. Each object in a group can have its own fill.
Use the Fill inspector to apply fills to selected objects or to set the default fill attributes for new objects in the active document.
For more information on applying colors to fills, see Applying color in FreeHand.
Note: Your onscreen display and printed results depend on the complexity of the fill and your output device. For more information, see Compatible output devices.
