With Paint on triangles you can add a color to single triangles. First choose a color in
the tabsheet on the right and then click on a triangle. By holding the mouse, you can
paint more than one triangle at a time. (figure 6.69)
Paint on surface enables you to color larger areas. It works like a pen in any graphic
programs. (figure 6.70) In the tabsheet you can decrease or increase the radius to
change the size of the pen. (figure 6.71) The selection tolerance determines what area may
