Mapping image fills

2.Click an object containing an image fill. Only one object at a time can be edited. An editing object with eight handles is placed over the image.

3.Use the editing object to set the image origin location, i-axis and j-axis lengths, and rotation angle. The fill can also be nudged.

Action	Description
Edit the location of the fill (image origin)	Click and drag the editing object to the desired location.
Edit the image i-axis and j-axis location	Click a corner handle (the resize cursor displays) and drag the handle to the new size. Press the Shift key while dragging to constrain the image aspect ratio. Click to set.
Edit the image rotation	Click a side handle (the rotate cursor displays) and drag the handle to the new rotation angle (or press the Tab key and enter a Rotation value in the Data bar). Click to set. Press the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac) while rotating to rotate about the image center.
Flip the image horizontally or vertically	Click and drag a corner of the editing object past another corner of the editing object. Click to set. Drag horizontally or vertically to flip the image in that direction; drag diagonally to flip the image both horizontally and vertically.

Options in the Image Settings dialog box (accessed from the Attributes palette) also affect image attribute mapping. When the link button between the I Length and J Length fields is selected, the image cannot be flipped or mirrored by dragging the editing object’s handles vertically or horizontally; only diagonal dragging is allowed. Use the Flip Horizontally or Flip Vertically options in this dialog box to change the fill orientation without moving or resizing the image.
