"To select all the pixels in a bitmap: 1. Choose the Bitmap Selection tool from the Bitmap tools. Click inside the bitmap. A dotted outline appears indicating that the bitmap is selected. 2. Choose Select All from the Edit menu. OR Press CODE + /. Using Tone or Fill Pattern in a Selected Area It is a good idea to save your drawings after every fill operation. You can change the tone of a contiguous group of pixels using the Bitmap Fill tool. Unlike the Fill tool for graphic objects, which fills the entire interior of a graphic object, the Bitmap Fill tool fills an enclosed area with the current area fill tone. The enclosed area is bounded by pixels of a different tone. "To change the pixels in an enclosed area: 1. Select the Bitmap Fill tool from the Bitmap tools. The pointer changes to a paint can when you move it over the drawing area. 2. Select the fill tone and the pattern you want. You can use the Area Fill tone tool or choose Area Attributes from the Attributes menu. 3. Click anywhere in the enclosed area. Drawing changes all pixels in the enclosed area with the current area fill tone. Erasing in the Bitmap Frame To erase a rectangular region, you can use the Selection tool and the Cut or Delete choices on the Edit menu. You can use the Eraser tool to erase all or part of a bitmap. When you use the Eraser tool, Drawing changes the tone of affected pixels to white. It has the same effect of painting pixels white using a different bitmap tool (such as the Rectangle tool). "To erase pixels in a bitmap frame: 1. Select the Eraser tool from the Bitmap tools. The pointer changes to a square when you move it over the drawing area. 2. Move the pointer to where you want to start erasing, and then click or drag the pointer over the parts of the image you want to erase. Using the Pixel View Tool You can use the Pixel View tool (on the far right) to change individual pixels in the Pixel View. The Pixel View tool enlarges your drawing and displays a grid of pixels that you can change individually. Once an image appears in the Pixel View, you can use any of the bitmap tools to make subtle changes to it, such as smoothing out" a rough edge or corner. For example, to change the tone of individual pixels, you can select a line tone, select the Brush tool, and then click the pixels you want to change. Similarly, to change a rectangular region of pixels, you can select a fill tone, select the Rectangle tool, and then draw a rectangle over the region of pixels you want to change. Drawing 245
