Creating and importing bitmaps
You can add (import) new bitmap fills or create your own pattern on a
8x8 grid, using the Bitmaps tab of the Area dialog box (shown in
Figure 111).
To create a bitmap fill:
1) Start with the Blank bitmap type on top of the list to activate the
Pattern editor.
2) Select the Foreground and Background colors.
3) Start creating the pattern by clicking with the left mouse button
the squares (pixels) that you want to be painted in the foreground
color. Use the right mouse button to apply the background color.
Check the preview window to see if the desired effect is achieved.
4) When done, click Add to save the pattern.
