(1)Drawing color

Select the fill color.You can use the following options: Main drawing color, Sub drawing color, Transparent color, or Specified color.

With Specified color, you can use the Color settings dialog to select any color.

The available options will depend on the expression color of the selected layer.If you are using a layer with a limited expression color (Grey or Monochrome), you will only be able to select colors within that range.

(2)Opacity

Sets the opacity of the fill.(This setting is not available on layers with the expression color set to Monochrome.)

(3)Blending mode

Sets how to apply the fill color over the original colors.For details on blending modes, see "Blending modes".

(4)Anti-aliasing

Toggles anti-aliasing on and off.When turned on, anti-aliasing is applied after filling an area bordering an anti-aliased line.You can fill in gaps while maintaining smooth lines.

(5)Target color

Specify the color that will be filled.Available options for Target color will depend on whether Fill closed area is turned on or off.See "Target color" for an explanation on the settings.

(6)Tolerance

Specifies the color margin to recognize an area as the same color when filling.The larger the value, the greater the tolerance to include colors other than the specified color.

(7)Area scaling

Set whether to overfill or underfill the area.When the value is negative, the fill color will be smaller than the selected area, and when the value is positive, the filled area will be larger than the selected area.

(8)Scaling mode

Sets the corner shape of the fill when using area scaling.

Rectangle: Determines the area by placing a rectangle on each pixel on the outline of the area to be enlarged or reduced.The outline of the enlarged/reduced area often becomes rectangular.

Round: Determines the area by placing a circle on each pixel on the outline of the area to be enlarged or reduced.The angles of the enlarged or reduced area becomes rounded.

To darkest pixel: When Area scaling is set to overfill an area, it will not expand beyond the most opaque pixels of the line.

(9)Fill closed area

Only fills the enclosed areas within a selected area.

(10)Close gap

Treats gaps in a line as a solid line.You can adjust the tolerance level by a set pixel amount.

(11)Refer multiple

When Refer multiple is turned on, you can set which layers to reference when filling.When turned off, only the current layer will be referenced.

(12)Exclude

When Refer multiple is turned on, you can select layer types to exclude from reference for the fill layer.

(13)Refer to image border

When on, treats the outer perimeter of the canvas as a border line.

(14)Fill up to vector path

When referencing a vector layer, this fills up to the vector path.
