Open Texture Fill Window
Create a rectangle at least 3" wide and high, with no fill. Select
the rectangle with the Pick Tool. Choose the Fill Tool from the Toolbox
to open the fly-out. Choose the fourth icon to open the Texture Fill
Window.

Choose Texture Fill Library
Choose a collection of patterns from the Texture Library fly-out. Each
of the libraries contains a separate selection of textures.

Choose Texture
Choose texture from the Texture List. Keep in mind that you can adjust
many of the properties of the texture and can substitute colors. This
sample is Cotton Candy from the Samples 6 library.

Set Tiling Options
Depending on the size of your object, you may have unattractive edges
showing from tiling. Not all textures repeat smoothly, and you can set
the size of the tile to exceed your object to prevent tiling. You can
also skew or rotate your texture fill, offset the tiling rows or columns
and change the position of the pattern. Click on the Tiling button in
the Texture Fill window to access all the above options.

Set Texture Fill Color
Click on the Sky button to change the pink color. Choose one of the
preset colors or click Others for the full range of CorelDraw colors.
(Choosing a color that is not from the RGB color model will bring a
warning that the color will be converted to RGB. Slight color shifting
can occur.) Click on the Clouds button to change the white color. Each
texture will have a different naming system for the colors, but samples
are shown of each color to make editing easier. Click on preview to
see the results.

Change Texture Properties
There are unlimited variations for each texture. You can easily view random
variations by pressing the Preview window. Each click will present a slightly
different combination. You can also manually adjust a variety of properties
in the lower left corner of the Texture Fill window. You can toggle locks
for each property on and off. Experiment with variations of many styles
to learn how to find exactly the right combination for your needs. Two
versions of the same texture and color are shown to the left.
