Multiple Levels of Control

 

Most of the properties have more than one level of control.  Note the button circled in the figure below. This opens a selection, from which you can choose whether the selected property should be adjusted via a simple menu (color only), an advanced menu (color, pattern and background) or should not appear (None). 

Note:  Not all the properties in the menu will have all three control levels. For example, scaling provides a choice of only "None" or "Advanced".

    None  -  In the case of fill or outline, this is equivalent to "transparent".  Otherwise it means "default value". 

    Simple - You will be able to change one option - normally whatever is most common for that property such as the color for fill.  Note that several properties skip this control level, jumping directly from None to Advanced.

    Advanced - You will be able to control the property with several options.  For example, with Fill this would include setting a pattern and a background color as well as a base color.
