Working with gradient fills
Gradient fills are those that use gradients—small "spectrums" with colors
spreading between at least two defined key values. Specifically, gradient fills
include the Linear, Radial, Elliptical, Conical, Square, Three Color, and Four
Color types. Once you've applied a gradient fill to an object using the Swatch tab
(see Setting fill properties on p. 137), you can use the Fill Tool to edit the object's
fill path, defining the placement of the spectrum across the object.
Applying a gradient fill
There are several ways to apply a gradient fill as a line color or object fill: using
the Fill Tool or via the Swatch tab. Using the Fill Tool, you can vary the fill's path
on an object for different effects.
To apply a gradient fill (Fill Tool):
1. Select a colored object.
2. Click the Swatch tab and ensure the Line or Fill swatch is set
accordingly.
3. Click the Fill Tool on the Drawing toolbar.
