Fill Colour

The fill colour is the colour used to fill the
interior (the interior is defined by the |
|). You can specify one of the following:

Transparent
  No colour (the path is not filled).

Colour
  A single colour is used to fill the path. This can be specified as RGB (red green blue), CMYK (cyan magenta yellow black), HSB (hue saturation brightness) or grey scale. The alpha value changes the opacity (maximum value is solid, zero is completely transparent and a value in between produces a semi-transparent effect).

Gradient
  A two-tone gradient is used for the outline. This requires a start colour and an end colour. The shading may be linear or radial: if linear, you need to specify a direction using one of the direction buttons; if radial, you need to specify the starting location using one of the buttons provided.

Note that the colours you see on the screen may not exactly match colours produced by your printer due to the non-invertible mapping between colour spaces. The colours are specified as integer values between 0 and 100, or between 0 and 359 in the case of hue. You can type in the number in the appropriate box or use the slider bars or you can click on one of the predefined colour buttons.

Note that the gradient paint fill colour has limitations if you |
| your image as a `pgfpicture` environment. The alpha values will be ignored, and there may be differences in the resulting shading. See the `pgf` user manual for further details on the shading mechanism.
