problem with filling bounded areas

Postby Pony-Berserker » Mon Jan 14, 2013 9:40 pm

Okay... It's been bothering me for a while...

Whenever I use the "bucket" tool to fill area between paths, the "fill" doesn't stick to the "outlines" - there are always a few pixels left blank/transparent. When I add stroke of the same color to the "fill", then it's mostly "touching" the outline, but still, there are some transparent places and I have to move the fill area manually, hiding its edges under the outline. So, is there an option to make it fill the area perfectly?

(and yes, I know, there is stroke AND fill in an object, but it's not always convenient or possible to use - I'm talking about a situation where I need to use the bucket tool :P)

Yes, look on the control bar for Grow/Shrink setting. :D
