The paint bucket is used to fill enclosed regions with a specified color and pattern.

 To use the paint bucket, position the pointer over the region you want to fill and click once.

Be sure that a region you are planning to fill is completely enclosed – if there is a gap in the boundary, paint will leak out and fill your painting.  If such a disaster occurs, you can always undo it with the Undo command on the Edit menu.

When the shading tool is selected, use the paint bucket to create automatically shaded color within an irregular region.  After you click the pointer in the area, a line will appear which you can pivot to determine the direction of shading.

When the paint bucket is selected, select Configure Paint Bucket from the Options menu to configure paint bucket fill options.  In its default mode, the paint bucket will fill an area until it runs into a color different from the one you initially clicked on.  The paint bucket configuration option let you change the definition of a boundary color to be the same as the bucket color. For more information on paint bucket configuration options, see the Tool Configuration section of the Advanced Painting Techniques section of the Modern Artist manual.
