760 Corel Painter X3 Getting Started Guide
Modifying shape outlines and fills
You can choose the color, opacity, and width of the path outlining the shape, which is
also known as a stroke. You can also control the way line ends are drawn and joined. In
addition, you can apply a fill to a shape by choosing the color and opacity of the fill.
Stroke and fill attributes apply to both open and closed shapes. Before filling an open
shape, Corel Painter closes the shape by connecting the endpoints with a straight line.
The Flatness slider controls how many straight lines the program uses to approximate
a curve when printing. PostScript output devices create curved lines by linking a series
of short, straight lines that progress in angle. The smaller the flatness setting, the
greater the number of straight lines, and the more accurate the curve.
You can also change the default shape attributes. For more information, see “Setting
preferences for drawing shapes” on page 757. In addition, you can paint a shape after
the shape has been committed to a pixel-based image layer. For information, see
“Converting shapes to image layers” on page 768.
