the arrow to the right of the field to display
preset values or you can type a value directly

You can also Control-click to pick a color from
the pop-up color palette (pictured), or click the
disclosure triangle to manipulate the individual
R, G, B, and A sliders. An example of a color
well is a shape’s Fill Color parameter.
Gradient editor Allows you to select a preset gradient style or
create a new gradient. When collapsed, you
can choose only from the preset pop-up menu
to choose an existing preset. Alternatively, click
the disclosure triangle to reveal additional
controls to set the gradient’s opacity as well as
its color values. An example of a gradient
control appears in the Text Style pane when
the Face “Fill with” parameter is set to Gradient.
Image well Allows you to drag an object (usually a clip, still
image, or shape) to provide input data for a
type of effect. For example, a bump map filter
needs an image to provide the bumps, or a
Repel From behavior needs to know what
object from which to move away. An example
of an Image well is the Attracted To behavior’s
Object parameter.
