                 Bucket Fill Tool
                 The Bucket Fill Tool is used to fill an area of an image or selection with a solid colour, gradient, or pattern.

                 Perform the following steps to use the Bucket Fill Tool:
                 Step 1:  Open an image.
                 Step 2:  Access the Bucket Fill Tool by either:

                         Click on the Bucket Fill Tool    in the Toolbox.
                         OR
                         Click on Tools   Paint Tools   Bucket Fill.
                         OR

                         Press Shift + B on your keyboard.
                 Step 3:  In the tool options, choose whether you want to fill with a foreground color, background color, pattern, or
                         gradient.
                 Step 4:  Click on the area of the image you want to fill. The tool will fill the contiguous area with the selected colour
                         or pattern based on the current threshold.
                 Step 5:  Adjust the Threshold slider to control how similar adjacent colours need to be for the fill to spread across
                         them.
