Working with bitmap fills
On the Area tab, chose Bitmap from the drop-down list. Select from the list of
bitmaps the one to be used to fill the area. Note that any imported bitmaps will
become available in the list.
Set the size, position and offset parameters (as applicable) in the right hand side of
the page, and then click OK to close the dialog box.
As Figure 111 shows, there are quite a number of parameters to be configured when
using a bitmap fill. These are described in Table 5.
