This dialog defines how an object have to be filled
or outlined. There are 3 (plus one) type of paints
that JSup supports. 1. Simple color ((())) 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. 2. Gradient paint 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|GradientPa
int]
class). Circular gradients are also available: the
two points define the radius of the circumference.

The two colors can be selected as in [#Simple
color], so they can be partially transparent. 3.
Texture paint A [bitmap image] is used to paint the
[graphic object]. ((())) 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

class. 4. Template You can define (or [import]) a
palette of paint templates that can be used along
the [application]. ((())) The paint templates can
be of different types: * [Simple color] * [Gradient
paint] * [Texture paint] See [attribute palettes].
