6-6 AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual
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 Alt as you click.
Tip Save combinations of fill and pen attributes as a style, and then apply the
style to change the palette settings in one step. (To open the stylesheet, click
on the Default button bar, or choose Show Stylesheet from the Window
menu.) For more information on styles, see “Using styles” on page 9-5.
* Choose Index from the Help menu and type the first few letters of the entry. Double-click the
