# Fill

A shape's fill is what fills its inside.

A closed shape can have a solid colour, texture, hatch or no fill.

## Set the fill

1. Select the shape and open its **Appearance** controls.
2. Open the **Fill** swatch.
3. Choose a kind: **None**, **Solid**, **Texture**, or **Hatch**.

## The fill kinds

| Kind        | Controls                                                                                                                                                 |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Solid**   | Pick a colour and set its opacity, from 0% to 100%.                                                                                                      |
| **Texture** | Choose an image from the gallery or upload your own, then adjust its **scale** and **rotation**, and whether it repeats.                                 |
| **Hatch**   | Choose a **pattern**, set a **line colour** and an optional **background colour**, and adjust **opacity**, line **weight**, **scale**, and **rotation**. |

## What you'll see
