The Graphic Inspector
Use the Graphic Inspector to change object properties such as fill, stroke (line width),
shadow, and opacity.
A
Fill pop-up menu: Fill an object with a solid color, a color gradient, an image, or a tinted image
(an image with a wash of color over it).
B
Color wells and gradient controls: If you choose Gradient Fill from the Fill pop-up menu, click
each color well to choose a color. Click the double-headed arrow to invert the gradient. Set the
direction of the gradient with the Angle wheel, or type a value in the field. If you choose Image
Fill, you have other options; see “Image Fill settings,” below.
C
Stroke settings: Choose a line style from the pop-up menu. Click the color well to choose a line
color. Enter the line thickness in the field (or click the arrows to adjust the thickness). Choose a
style for line endpoints from the pop-up menus.
D
Shadow checkbox: Select the checkbox to add a shadow to the selected object. Change the
angle of the shadow (the apparent position of the light source) with the Angle wheel (or enter
an angle in the field). Click the color wheel to change the shadow color.
E
Offset, Blur, and Opacity fields: Change the look of a shadow.
 Offset: The higher the value, the greater the perceived distance between the object and its
shadow.
 Blur: The lower the value, the sharper the shadow’s edges are.
 Opacity: The higher the value, the less transparent the shadow is.
F
Reflection checkbox: Select to make the selected object have a reflection.
