Figure 107: The Bitmaps page of the Area fill dialog

box.

To import a bitmap created in Draw or another program:

1) Click the Import button.

2) A file picker dialog box is displayed. Browse to the directory

containing the bitmap file and select it, then click Open.

3) Type a name for the imported bitmap and click OK.

Formatting shadows

Shadowing can be applied to both lines and areas. To apply a shadow

to an area, first select the object to which shadowing should be

applied, then select Format > Area.

Shadows can also be applied to lines, but it is not very obvious how to

do it. One way is to click the Shadow icon on the Line and Filling

toolbar (see the last tool in Figure 108). The other way is to apply a

style to the line that uses a shadow (see “Using graphics styles to

format graphics” on page 128 for additional information on using

styles).

to many common formatting tools
