# Description

Use the brushPattern property to change the pattern used with the bucket, spray can, and brush paint tools, and for the interior of filled shapes.

Pattern images can be color or black-and-white.

>*Cross-platform note:* To be used as a pattern on Mac OS systems>, an image must be 128x128 pixels or less, and both its > height and width must be a power of 2. To be used on Windows and > Unix, height and width must be divisible by 8. To > be used as a fully cross-platform pattern, both an image's dimensions > should be one of 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128.

If the brushPattern has been set since the last time the brushColor was set, the pattern is used instead of the color specified by brushColor. In other words, the last-set property takes priority.
