Shape Set Fill

The Fill state determines whether the shape is visually filled and can be interactive or respond to a trigger. You can choose a color using the Fill Color picker or set it to transparent. Even with a transparent fill, the shape remains interactive if Enable Fill is checked. Shapes which can have this property modified include the Rectangle, Ellipse, Polyline, and Polygon.
