The following sections provide more detail about Shape toolbar buttons, and how to create objects using
them.

4.2.4.1 The Fill Mode Button

The manner in which some Shape toolbar buttons work is affected by the state of the the

Fill Mode

button, which is found at the bottom of the Shape toolbar. Buttons representing closed

objects such as circles, rectangles, polygons and closed splines can be created as filled or unfilled objects.
When this button appears pressed in, fill mode is set to ON, and any closed objects created will be filled in.
The fill color used depends on what Fill color is currently selected in the Settings/Properties windows. This
button appears raised when fill mode is OFF, and any closed objects created in this mode will not be filled.
