The Pattern editing tool works on Vector Shapes that use a Pattern fill. On these shapes, the Pattern Editing Tool allows you to change the size, ratio and origin of a pattern. On Canvas-editing ----------------- You can change the origin by click dragging the upper node, this is only possible in Tiled mode. You can change the size and ratio by click-dragging the lower node. There's no way to constrain the ratio in on-canvas editing, this is only possible in Original and Tiled mode. Tool Options ------------ There are several tool options with this tool, for fine-tuning: First there are the Pattern options. Repeat: This can be set to: Original: This will only show one, unstretched, copy of the pattern. Tiled (Default): This will let the pattern appear tiled in the x and y direction. Stretch: This will stretch the Pattern image to the shape. Reference point: Pattern origin. This can be set to: * Top-left * Top * Top-right * Left * Center * Right * Bottom-left * Bottom * Bottom-right. Reference Point Offset: For extra tweaking, set in percentages. X: Offset in the X coordinate, so horizontally. Y: Offset in the Y coordinate, so vertically. Tile Offset: The tile offset if the pattern is tiled. Pattern Size: Fine Tune the resizing of the pattern. W: The width, in pixels. H: The height, in pixels. And then there's :guilabel:`Patterns`, which is a mini pattern docker, and where you can pick the pattern used for the fill.
