Transforming and distorting fills

You can move, rotate, skew, and change the width of an object's pattern or gradient fill. When you use the Pointer or Gradient tools to select an object with a pattern or gradient fill, a set of handles appears on or near the object. You can drag these handles to adjust the object's fill.

Use the fill handles to interactively adjust a pattern or gradient fill.

To move the fill within an object:

• Drag the round handle, or click in a new location in the fill using the Gradient tool.

To rotate the fill:

• Drag the lines connecting the handles.

To adjust the fill width and skew:

• Drag a square handle.
