Modifying a Texture Fill on a Pencil Line
When you paint a pencil line with a bitmap colour swatch, you can override the position of the texture fill using the Colour-Override module and a Peg.

This transformation override will be done by modifying the Peg's position.
|
|
‣
|
Modulate Pencil Texture Colour (combine transformation):This option will combine the initial texture fill's transformation (matrix) established when you drew the line or modified it with the Edit Gradient and Texture tool with the new position transformation you will create when modifying the Peg's position.
