The Bucket (or Fill) Tool

  1. Click on the bucket tool in the tool box, and then click a color from the color box.
  2. Click the area or object you want to fill: To fill with the foreground color, click the area with the left mouse button. To fill with the background color, click the area with the right mouse button. Notes: If the shape being filled has any breaks in its border, the filling color will leak through to the rest of the drawing area. To find and close the opening, use the Zoom tool to closely examine the border for breaks.


Assignment: Fill one of the red polygons with green.
