Color Picker
Display Layout Items and Drawing Objects can be filled with a solid color, no color, or a linear or radial gradient. The color picking tool is found in the Properties panel of any highlighted graphical object under Appearance.

Settings |
|---|---|---|
None |
No color — colored area is invisible. |
No settings. |
Solid |
Use a singular color. |
Opacity — Set the opacity of the color using a slider or by entering a value from 0–255 in the A field. The value 0 represents being the most transparent, and 255 representing no transparency. |
Linear
|
A gradient going down/up/left/right/horizontally. |
Opacity — Set the opacity of the color using a slider or by entering a value from 0–255 in the A field. The value 0 represents being the most transparent, and 255 representing no transparency. Gradient — Use sliders to determine where the gradient fades from one color to the next. StartPoint — The starting point for the color to start from. This represents the x and y-axis. EndPoint — The point from where the secondary color starts from, and the primary color ends, representing the x and y-axis. MappingMode — Default is Relative to bounding box, meaning the x and y coordinates are within the confines of the object. The value Absolute value means the x and y coordinates are within the confines of the canvas. Speadmethod — How the color is distributed on the object. Pad will spread the gradient across the object. Reflect will mirror the gradient. Repeat will repeat the gradient across the object. |
Radial
|
A gradient starting from a centered point, fading outwards. | Opacity — Set the opacity of the color using a slider or by entering a value from 0–255 in the A field. The value 0 represents being the most transparent, and 255 representing no transparency. Gradient — Use sliders to determine where the gradient fades from one color to the next. GradientOrigin — The point on the x and y-axis where the the gradient starts. Center — The centered point from where the gradient fades out from. RadiusX — The point along the x-axis where the gradient fades out to. RadiusY — The point along the y-axis where the gradient fades out to. MappingMode — Default is Relative to bounding box, meaning the x and y coordinates are within the confines of the object. The value Absolute value means the x and y coordinates are within the confines of the canvas. Speadmethod — How the color is distributed on the object. Pad will spread the gradient across the object. Reflect will mirror the gradient. Repeat will repeat the gradient across the object. |
