OK
Applies the changes and closes the dialog.
Cancel
Does not retain any changes and closes the dialog.

Fills the object with specified gradient colors. See the tab.
Fill Gradient
Specifies the type of gradient to fill the object. It can be one of the following: Linear, Cyclic Linear, Square Radial, and Round Radial.
Start Color
Specifies a color in the gradient graph.
End Color
Specifies the other color in the gradient graph.
Transparency
Specifies the transparency of the gradient color, in percent.
Start XSpecifies the horizontal position, measured in the percentage of the object's width, from the left edge of the object, where the gradient starts.
Start Y
Specifies the vertical position, measured in the percentage of the object's height, from the top edge of the object, where the gradient starts.
End X
Specifies the horizontal position, measured in the percentage of the object's width, from the left edge of the object, where the gradient ends.
End Y
Specifies the vertical position, measured in the percentage of the object's height, from the top edge of the object, where the gradient ends.

Reverse
Specifies whether to reverse values of Start X and End X, and reverse Start Y and End Y.
Fills the object with specified texture. See the tab.
Fill Texture
Specifies the type of texture to fill the object.
Foreground
Specifies the foreground color of the texture.
Background
Specifies the background color of the texture.
Transparency

Choose Image File
Specifies the image file from the current catalog folder.
Display
Specifies the layout style of the image in the object. It can be on of the following: Tile, Centered and Scaled.
Image X
Specifies the left position of the area, measured in the percentage of the image's width, from the left edge of the image.
Image Y
Specifies the bottom position of the area, measured in the percentage of the image's width, from the bottom edge of the image.
Width
Specifies the width of the area, measured in the percentage of the image's width. Setting this value to less than 100 percent will cut the image from the right edge.
Height
Specifies the height of the area, measured in the percentage of the image's height. Setting this value to less than 100 percent will cut the image from the bottom edge.
The above four options, namely Image X, Image Y, Width and Height, are used to define an area in the image and put the defined area of the image into the object.
