- Description
- The PAT file format is a pattern file used by CorelDRAW, a vector graphics editor developed by Corel Corporation. It contains patterns that can be applied to fills, outlines, and textures within graphic projects to enhance visual appearance and add complexity to designs. These patterns range from simple geometric designs to more intricate images, allowing users to apply textures and motifs seamlessly across their artwork. PAT files are utilized to store and share custom patterns, facilitating consistency and creativity in graphic design projects.
- This file format is used as a canvas (background) in a variety of image editing software in order to set the main color of the image. It is used to fill the canvas with one solid color. It belongs to the group of 'pseudo-image' file formats. It can be used for the fill color, which is chosen from the selected area in a particular image.
