objects’ vertical or horizontal orientation, or on their stacking order. The filters do not affect strokes or unpainted
objects.

2 Do one of the following:
• To fill the intermediate objects with graduated blends between the frontmost and backmost filled objects, choose
Filter > Colors > Blend Front To Back.
• To fill the intermediate objects with graduated blends between the leftmost and rightmost filled objects, choose
Filter > Colors > Blend Horizontally.
