Changing Fill Pattern

The interior of rectangular objects can be filled with a solid color or
a pattern. You can apply a different fill pattern to each state of a
multistate object so that the fill pattern changes with each state. The
default fill pattern is white.

On color or grayscale terminals, you can not assign fill patterns to
circles or ellipses. On monochrome monitors, valid fill patterns for
circles and ellipses are black, white or none.

To add a fill pattern:

1. Select the object.

2. If the object is a multistate object, select a state.

From the tool bar, select a state from the State box.

Or choose Next State or Previous State from the Format menu.

3. Click the Fill tool on the Format bar.

Or choose Fill Pattern from the Format menu.

The Fill submenu opens.

4. Choose a fill option.

After selecting the fill pattern, the pattern appears in the object.
If you select an object that can’t be filled, the fill commands
appear dimmed to show the fill can’t be changed.

The fill changes but the object maintains all other characteristics
such as shape, line type and so on.

For multistate objects, you can set the fill pattern for a state directly
from the State tab of the object’s dialog.
