COLOR DESCRIPTION
Use the Edit menu to specify which aspect of a text line or graphic
object you intend to modify.
There are three choices: Fill controls colors used in the body of the font
or object. Choosing Edge or Shadow instead allows you to modify the
corresponding characteristic.
Type permits you to choose between six different types of color (or image-based texture):

Solid – applies a single color to the surface (the one in the neighboring Solid Color
pane).

When you pick one of the middle four instead (Linear, Corners, Angle, or Radial), the
current Gradient colors are applied:
o Linear applies the gradient in a straight left-to-right pattern.
o Corners will apply the gradient color starting at the upper left corner
diagonally, sweeping around to the bottom right.
o Angle applies the gradient starting at 3 o’clock and rotating counterclockwise.
o Radial applies the Gradient starting at the center of the surface and emanating
to the edge.

Texture applies an image map (specified using the Image drop-down menu in the Solid
Color Pane at right) to the surface.
Adjusting the Rotate value changes the application angle for the gradient or texture, when
active.
SELECTION, LINE & CHARACTER
If you have multiple lines of text on a page, you can choose how the color,
gradient, or texture will be applied.
