About Region Layers

The Region Layer is much like the Outline Layer, except that the shapes it describes are filled in, rather than just being an outline.

To create a Region Layer use the Spline Tool and check "Create Region" in the Tool Options Panel. Once you finish the definition of the geometry of your outline and after pressing the "Make Spline" button (or selecting another tool or state) you create the Region Layer with the current "Fill Color".

Depending on the options you choose in the Tool Options Panel other Tools like Star Tool or Circle Tool can also create Region Layers.

Using the Layer Menu "Make Advanced Outline", "Make Outline" or "Make Region" commands you can also create those layers.

Parameters of Region Layers

The parameters of the region layers are:

Name Value Type
Type real icon.png Z Depth 0.000000 real
Type real icon.png Amount 1.000000 real
Type integer icon.png Blend Method Composite integer
Type color icon.png Color
color
Type vector icon.png Origin 0.000000u,0.000000u vector
Type bool icon.png Invert

Type bool icon.png Antialiasing
bool
Type real icon.png Feather 1.000000u real
Type integer icon.png Type of Feather Fast Gaussian Blur integer
Type integer icon.png Winding Style Non Zero integer
Type list icon.png Vertices List list(Spline)

The parameters are exactly the same as in the Outline Layer, except that region layers don't have the following 7 parameters, which are all specific to outlines:
