philipt18 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Is there a way to apply a fill pattern along with a color? I'm printing something that only allows one color, so to differentiate something I wanted to fill the objects with a checkerboard pattern so it would show up differently. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hi, philipt18, I mostly use Designer, but I think Photo will do 3 of the 4 samples I'll show. Affinity has a feature called power duplicate. One can draw a shape, move/rotate/scale, and repeat identically using the "duplicate" command via the keyboard short cut. Many many items can be created, and grouped. In the example, the diagonals were done this way. The ellipses were all done just by copy and paste. In the upper left, I power duplicated squares in rows and columns, and nested the resulting checkerboard inside the ellipse. Lower left, it is vertical pen strokes, set to dashed lines. Upper right, I used one of my homemade vector brushes at a width that filled the ellipse w. 4 strokes. Photo does not have a vector brush. Bottom right, I found an old Ben Day stipple pattern in my collection, couldn't find any checkerboards, made it neutral grey, and placed it as a bitmap fill in the ellipse, adding a recolor adjustment to match the main color. I would suppose something like these would help.
