Chapter 6: Creating Drawings with Draw
Gradients and Patterns for Objects and Background
The objects in drawings and presentations do not have to have uniform colours. They can also
have colour gradients, transparency gradients, patterns and hatching effects. Users can also
define a colour, a gradient or a pattern for a background that is visible in all slides of a
presentation.
Defining Gradients
To assign a predefined gradient to an object, proceed as follows:
1. Select the object.
2. From the context menu or under Format on the menu bar, choose Area....
3. Select the Gradient option, then make a selection from the gradient list.
Defining a custom colour Gradient
Before defining a new, custom colour gradient, save the current colour gradient list as a file
to ensure there is a backup [say why?] or load a different list from another file.
