This dialog defines how an object have to be filled or outlined.
There are 3 (plus one) type of paints that JSup supports.

=== Simple color ===
((([img:///img/JSup/paint_dialog_1.png])))
A uniform color that can be selected from:
 * Standard color palette.
 * HSB coordinates.
 * RGB components.

The '''opacity''' of the paint can be specified as a percent.
=== Gradient paint ===
[img:///img/JSup/paint_dialog_2.png|right|margin=10|]A way to have shaded paints that combines two colors and their intermediates between two points in a '''linear''' variation (like the Java 
[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/GradientPaint.html|GradientPaint] class).

'''Circular''' gradients are also available: the two points define the radius of the circumference.
((([img:///img/JSup/paint_dialog_2b.png] [img:///img/JSup/paint_dialog_2c.png])))
The two colors can be selected as in [#Simple color], so they can be partially transparent.
=== Texture paint ===
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmap_image|bitmap image] is used to paint the [graphic object|graphic object]. 
((([img:///img/JSup/paint_dialog_3.png])))
[img:///img/JSup/paint_dialog_3b.png|right|margin=10|]
The given bitmap images is painted (side by side) until all the object shape is filled. In the example on the right the texture is used to create a cochlea.

The texture can be '''anchored''' (do not move with the object) or not (move with the object).

This kind of paint uses the Java [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/TexturePaint.html|TexturePaint] class.
=== Template ===
You can define (or [JSup import export|import]) a palette of paint templates that can be used along the [JSup application|application].
((([img:///img/JSup/paint_dialog_4.png])))
The paint templates can be of different types:
 * [#Simple color|Simple color]
 * [#Gradient paint|Gradient paint]
 * [#Texture paint|Texture paint]
