Live Paint Bucket options
The Live Pain Bucket options let you specify how the Live Paint Bucket tool works, choosing whether to select and
paint just fills, just strokes, or both, as well as how to highlight faces and edges as you move the tool over them. You
can see these options by double-clicking the Live Paint Bucket tool.
Note: The Paint Bucket tool no longer exists. The new Live Paint Bucket tool is used exclusively for Live Paint groups.
Paint Fills Paints the faces of Live Paint groups.
Paint Strokes Paints the edges of Live Paint groups.
Highlight Outlines the face or edge the cursor is currently over. Faces are highlighted with a thick line and edges are
highlighted with a thin line.
Color Sets the color for the highlight. You can choose a color from the menu or click the paint swatch to specify a
custom color.
Width Specifies how thick to make the selection highlight.
