20.1.4.2.9 fill

This element defines the fill that is applied to the table as a whole. The background of the table can contain a single fill that is the entire size of the table. This can allow for gradient fills, or image fills, which span the entire size of the table.

[Example: Consider the following example of a fill on a table background in DrawingML:

<fill>
  <gradFill flip="none" rotWithShape="1">
    <gsLst>
      <gs pos="0">
        <schemeClr val="accent2">
          <shade val="75000"/>
        </schemeClr>
      </gs>
      <gs pos="100000">
        <schemeClr val="accent2">
          <shade val="75000"/>
          <tint val="20000"/>
        </schemeClr>
      </gs>
    </gsLst>
    <lin ang="2700000" scaled="1"/>
    <tileRect/>
  </gradFill>
</fill>

In this example, we apply a gradient fill to the entire table on the background shape of the table. end example]
