To ll an object with a linear, two-color gradient:

1 In the Graphic inspector, choose Gradient Fill from the Fill pop-up menu.

Click the double-headed

arrow to invert the gradient.

Flip the gradient orientation or

set its direction by using the

arrow buttons or the Angle

wheel, or by typing a value.

Click each color well

to select colors.

2 Click each color well and choose the colors you want to blend together in the

Colors window.

To learn more about using the Colors window, see “The Colors Window” on page 26.

3 To set a direction for the gradient, use the Angle wheel or eld.

4 To ip it horizontally or vertically, click the Angle arrow buttons.

5 To invert the gradient, click the double-headed arrow next to the color wells.

To ll an object with a multi-color gradient:

1 In the Graphic inspector, choose Advanced Gradient Fill from the Fill pop-up menu.

2 To add another color to the gradient, hold the pointer at the point just below the

gradient strip in the inspector where you want the new color to begin. When a plus (+)

sign appears, click to add a new color control. Add a new color control for each color

you want to appear in your gradient.

3 To change a color in the gradient, click a color control (just under the gradient strip),

and then select a color from the Colors window. Do this for each of the colors you

want to appear in your gradient.

4 If you want to remove a color control, drag it downward and away from the inspector.

It vanishes.

You can’t have fewer than two color controls under the gradient strip.

5 To change how sharply or subtly the colors blend along the gradient, drag the blend

point controls (on top of the gradient strip in the inspector).

6 To change the direction of a linear gradient, use the Angle wheel or eld.
