The Fill Pattern dialog box enables you to create various patterns such as backgrounds or others applications. This dialog box includes three different types of fill pattern and contains three tabs:

• Color

You can create and insert each of them into your Work page. You can also edit any of the patterns from built-in library.

Color tab

The options to design Colored patterns are as follows:

• Fill Type. Choose one of the pre-defined types listed in combo box.
• Count. Define the number of steps in pattern (color gradation).
• Angle. Set an angle of rotation for chosen fill type. (not available for Circles and Arcs fill types)
• Mix. Choose a method of color mixing from pre-defined set.
• Line Width. Change width of a line (available for Sector2, Tangents, Lines fill type)
• Symmetric. Check the box to distribute colors symmetrically in regard to a color selected as first.
• First/Last color. Choose two colors to set range in between to fill a pattern. You can choose the color palettes from built-in color library.

The following options let you create different Color patterns and add them to the library.

• Saving a pattern. After you have created a pattern, press the Save As... button and type a name of the created pattern, then press OK. Program will save the pattern in the built-in library.

For some of the Colored patterns, you can shift a center of symmetry dragging pointer in the Preview window. If you selected the Brush pattern option, dragging in the Preview window will produce different visual effects.

Brush  and Picture tabs

The Brush and Picture tabs include the built-in libraries of brushes and pictures.

You can see selected brush or picture in the Preview window. Dragging in the preview window scales the sizes for one brush or picture element.

Right-clicking in case of Brush and Picture options sets an origination point of these patterns to the upper left corner of the Preview window and restores the sizes of the brush or picture to the default.
