Selecting a Pattern

■ Pattern Icons
In a dialog box, a Pattern icon is associated with a property that requires a pattern. It shows the pattern of the current selection and you can click it to bring up the Pattern palette. With the Pattern palette, you can select a pattern for the associated property. The following is a Pattern icon showing that the current selection is the “big dashes”.


■ Pattern Palette
With the Pattern palette, you can select a pattern from a set of predefined patterns. Usually, you click a Pattern icon to bring up the Pattern palette as shown below.

The “big dashes” block is outlined to indicate that it is the current selection. To select a pattern, click on that pattern block. To cancel the operation, click on any position other than the pattern blocks.
