areas; styles fill patterns for areas fill colors for areas invisible areas Area Set the fill options for the selected drawing object. This is not only for drawing objects, but pages, paragraphs and others too. Need better wording

You can add custom colors, gradients, hatchings, two color patterns and bitmap patterns to the default lists for later use.

None Do not fill the selected object. Color Fills the object with a color selected on this page. Gradient Fills the object with a gradient selected on this page. Bitmap Fills the object with a bitmap pattern selected on this page. To add a bitmap to the list, open this dialog, click the Bitmaps tab, and then click Add / Import. TODO: write a page about the Pattern tab Pattern Fills the object with a simple two color pattern selected on this page. Hatch Fills the object with a hatching pattern selected on this page. To apply a background color to the hatching pattern, select the Background color box, and then click a color in the list. You can quickly select fill options from the list boxes on the Drawing Object Properties toolbar. TODO: This para doesn't belong here anymore, but as several places include it, can't remove yet. Find a better place for it in a later commit. Select the type of fill that you want to apply to the selected drawing object.
