Paint

Overview

For object fills and strokes, Corona uses the concept of paint. Once a paint is declared, it can be applied to objects via object.fill and object.stroke.

Solid fills and strokes are specified by an array of color channels. For other fill/stroke types, including images, composites, and gradients, please see:

• BitmapPaint — used to fill/stroke an object with an image.
• CompositePaint — used for multi-texture fills/strokes.
• GradientPaint — used for linear gradient fills/strokes.
• ImageSheetPaint — used to fill/stroke an object with an image sheet frame.

Syntax
