To sample colors (via Color tab):
• Select Color Picker, hold the mouse button down, and drag to
the target area then release. The color under the cursor is picked up in
the adjacent swatch.
• Click the Color tab's Line or Fill swatch, then the Picked Color swatch
to transfer the color to the chosen swatch.
Defining line and fill colors
When you're applying a fill or line color using the Studio's Swatch tab, you
choose a color from one of several color palettes, arranged as a gallery of color
swatch thumbnails. Different palettes can be loaded but only one palette is
displayed at any one time.
Several of the color palettes are based on "themed" colors while the remaining
palettes are based on industry-standard color models, i.e.
• Standard RGB: Red, Green and Blue (default)
• Standard CMYK: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black
Applying a color from any of the above palettes to an object will add that to
DrawPlus's Document Palette, a set of colors currently in use (or previously
used) in your document. The Document Palette is primarily used to reuse colors
already in your document—great for working to a specific "tailored" set of colors.
To complement the default standard colors (A) in the Swatch tab's Document
Palette, you can also store other palette colors (B), bitmap fills (C),
gradient/plasma/mesh fills (D), and color spreads (E).
