Setting lines, colors, patterns, and textures
Use the fill and pen palettes to set the fill color and pattern, gradient, or
texture, and set the line color, pattern, width, and arrowhead style.
Select the fill and pen settings before you paint an image. It’s easier to set
them up ahead of time than to change an image once it’s been painted.
You can use the eyedropper to pick up (copy) a color from an image to
use in the fill or pen palettes, without having to select it from a palette. Click
the eyedropper, and then click in the image where the color you want
appears. The color of the pixel you click appears in the fill sample. To
change the pen color instead of the fill color, hold down Option as you click.
* Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from
