Changing Object Properties
This chapter describes more advanced features for
enhancing graphics and other objects in your
document.
You can directly manipulate object properties such as color, line style and thickness,
shadow, opacity, and orientation using the inspectors and the Colors window, as
described in the following sections.
Using Color and Image Fills
You can create interesting effects with color in Pages. A shape can be filled with solid
color, color gradients, or even with an image, such as a photo or other graphic.
You can also adjust an object’s opacity (transparency). You can even use fill and
opacity effects to modify individual bars or pie wedges in charts.
Selecting Colors
You use the Colors window to select color for text, shapes, backgrounds, and shadows
in Pages.
To open the Colors window:
 Choose View > Show Colors (or click Colors in the toolbar).
 Or click a color well in one of the inspector panes.
