You can move, rotate, skew, and change the width of an object's Pattern or Gradient fill.
When you select an object with a Pattern or Gradient fill and choose the Paint Bucket tool, a set of handles appears on or near the object. Drag these handles to adjust the object's fill.
Use the Paint Bucket tool handles to interactively adjust a Pattern or Gradient fill.
To move the fill within an object:
Drag the round handle, or click in a new location within the fill.
To rotate the fill:
Drag the lines connecting the handles.
To adjust the fill width and skew:
