20.1.8.14 blipFill

This element specifies the type of picture fill that the picture object has. Because a picture has a picture fill already by default, it is possible to have two fills specified for a picture object. An example of this is shown below.

[Example: Consider the picture below that has a blip fill applied to it. The image used to fill this picture object has transparent pixels instead of white pixels.

<p:pic>
  …
  <p:blipFill>
    <a:blip r:embed="rId2"/>
    <a:stretch>
      <a:fillRect/>
    </a:stretch>
  </p:blipFill>
  …
</p:pic>

The above picture object is shown as an example of this fill type. end example]

[Example: Consider now the same picture object but with an additional gradient fill applied within the shape properties portion of the picture.

<p:pic>
  …
  <p:blipFill>
    <a:blip r:embed="rId2"/>
    <a:stretch>
      <a:fillRect/>
    </a:stretch>
  </p:blipFill>
  <p:spPr>
    <a:gradFill>
      <a:gsLst>
        <a:gs pos="0">
          <a:schemeClr val="tx2">
            <a:shade val="50000"/>
          </a:schemeClr>
        </a:gs>
        <a:gs pos="39999">
          <a:schemeClr val="tx2">
            <a:tint val="20000"/>
          </a:schemeClr>
        </a:gs>
        <a:gs pos="70000">
          <a:srgbClr val="C4D6EB"/>
        </a:gs>
        <a:gs pos="100000">
          <a:schemeClr val="bg1"/>
        </a:gs>
      </a:gsLst>
    </a:gradFill>
  </p:spPr>
  …
</p:pic>

The above picture object is shown as an example of this double fill type. end example]

Attributes

rotWithShape (Rotate With Shape)

Specifies that the fill should rotate with the shape. That is, when the shape that has been filled with a picture and the containing shape (say a rectangle) is transformed with a rotation then the fill is transformed with the same rotation.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema boolean datatype.

dpi (DPI Setting)

Specifies the DPI (dots per inch) used to calculate the size of the blip. If not present or zero, the DPI in the blip is used.

[Note: This attribute is primarily used to keep track of the picture quality within a document. There are different levels of quality needed for print than on-screen viewing and thus a need to track this information. end note]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema unsignedInt datatype.

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this element’s content model (CT_BlipFillProperties) is located in A.4.1. end note]
