#6 Quick Coloring

[Da-vid21]

Current Behaviors:

Currently, Xfig allows a user to specify both the fill color and the border color at the time of the object’s creation. If a user wishes to change the object’s fill and border color after creation, they first have to click the edit shortcut button and then on the object to pop up an edit menu. The image below illustrates the current behavior through an example figure (a rectangle).

Expected Behavior:

The current feature needs to be enhanced, since it is ineffective, especially when the user needs to specify the same fill and border colors for multiple objects. To improve this process, add a paint tool button in the Editing Mode Panel on the left-hand side of Xfig. After selecting a fill color and a border color in the indicator panel for this feature, right-clicking an object will fill it with the selected fill color, and left-clicking will set it to the selected border color.
