Drawing filled circles

Post by techel »

I'm pretty new to TVP but already got some simple animations to work. Now I'm trying to draw a filled circle with some border (e.g. black circle filled with white). All I'm able to get is either an outlined or completely filled circle. How could I accomplish this?

You draw the outline first and then fill it with a different colour.

Well, that was my first thought, but consider drawing two overlapping, filled circles. Filling these is not that easy (and fast!) to accomplish.

It really is easy and fast. The line art (circles) should be on one layer , the color layer is underneath the line art. Set the Paintbucket (flood fill) source to Above (the line art layer above it) .

Have you looked at the user manual ?

I've already read about flood fill, but was sceptical. With one layer for contour and color it makes sense now, thanks!
