Choosing fill and line settings for vector shapes

You can use either controls in the Vector Shape window or Lingo to choose a vector shape's fill color, line width and color, and background color. The background is the area outside of a vector shape but within the cast member's bounding rectangle.

Because a vector shape is a single object, you don't need to select any part of the vector shape to make the following changes.

To choose the fill and line settings:

1 | Open a vector shape in the Vector Shape window.
2 | Choose fill and line settings using the appropriate controls at the left of the window.
| To choose the fill color, choose a color from the Fill Color menu.
| To choose the line color, choose a color from the Line Color menu.
| To set the line width, choose a point size option from the Line Width menu.
| To set the background color, choose a color from the Background Color menu. Choosing a background color that matches the color of the background results in better performance than using Background Transparent ink.
