Filling a path with the Even-Odd Fill option
Whenever you render a path object, the object is always filled with the color
specified in the
Color
square on the
Attribute Toolbar
. When
Even-Odd Fill
is
selected in the
Options
group of the
Tool Settings
panel, the fill only occupies
alternate areas created by overlapping path(s). This option is ideal when you have
an irregularly-shaped object which folds over onto itself or a complex object

paint. For instance, you can easily create a pattern with alternating fills. The
unfilled areas will show the base image.
This alternate filling effect can only be applied to path objects drawn in
