Area (Background, Highlighting)
Set the fill options for the selected drawing object or document element.
You can add custom colours, gradients, hatchings, two colour patterns and image patterns to the default lists for later use.
None
Do not fill the selected object.
Gradient
Fills the object with a gradient selected on this page.
Hatch
Fills the object with a hatching pattern selected on this page.
You can quickly select fill options from the list boxes on the Drawing Object Properties toolbar.
Use Background
Use the slide background as a fill. This differs from "None" in that the area is actually filled with the slide background at that location, instead of simply showing what is behind the shape.
-
Use Background: the object area is filled with the background fill. The object covers the blue circle.
-
Fill: The object uses the same gradient fill of the background. The object covers the blue circle.
-
None: the object does not have a fill. The blue circle is visible though the object.
Select the type of fill that you want to apply to the selected drawing object.
