Changing Object Properties

Want to take your creativity to the next level?
This chapter describes more advanced features
for enhancing graphics and other objects in your
presentation.

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 Keynote. 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 Keynote.

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.
