The Fill Style Editor provides complete visual editing of the settings, that let you define a filling of a particular element. When shown by a fill property editor, it is used to define a constant filling.

Following is a brief description of the Fill Style Editor User Interface: 

• Use automatic check - specifies whether the fill style is automatically determined. If this check is checked the entire fill style editor will be disabled. Uncheck this check if you want to provide a local fill style value.
• Material button - edits the material style associated with the filling (only applicable in 3D). The material style of the object defines the way in which the object reflects light.
• Image filters button - lets you edit the image filters applied to the object image (only applicable in 2D). Invokes the Image filters style editor. For more information check out the Image Filters Style Editor topic.
• Texture fill style button - for fill style types, which represent a texture (gradient, pattern, image etc.) you can edit the way in which the texture is mapped to the object.
• Fill Style combo - defines the type of fill style that you want to apply and automatically displays the selector corresponding to that type of fill style.
