20.1.8.31 fillToRect

The

This element defines the “focus” rectangle for the center shade, specified relative to the fill tile rectangle. center shade fills the entire tile except the margins specified by each attribute.

Each edge of the center shade rectangle is defined by a percentage offset from the corresponding edge of the tile rectangle. A positive percentage specifies an inset, while a negative percentage specifies an outset. [Note: For example, a left offset of 25% specifies that the left edge of the center shade rectangle is located to the right of the tile rectangle’s left edge by an amount equal to 25% of the tile rectangle’s width. end note]

[Example:

<a:path path="rect">
  <a:fillToRect l="50000" r="50000" t="50000" b="50000"/>
</a:path>

In the above shape, the rectangle defined by fillToRect is a single point in the center of the shape. This creates the effect of the center shade focusing at a point in the center of the region.

end example]

[Example:

<a:path path="rect">
  <a:fillToRect l="25000" t="25000" r="25000" b="0"/>
</a:path>

The center shade occupies the rectangle defined by excluding the topmost, leftmost, and rightmost 25% of the region. Therefore, the gradient fills the remaining leftmost 25%, topmost 25%, and rightmost 25% of the region.

end example]
