FillFormat

Return a ColorFormat object representing background color.

This property is only applicable to pattern fills and lines.

Return a ColorFormat instance representing the foreground color of this fill.

Angle in float degrees of line of a linear gradient.

Read/Write. May be None, indicating the angle should be inherited from the style hierarchy. An angle of 0.0 corresponds to a left-to-right gradient. Increasing angles represent counter-clockwise rotation of the line, for example 90.0 represents a bottom-to-top gradient. Raises TypeError when the fill type is not MSO_FILL_TYPE.GRADIENT. Raises ValueError for a non-linear gradient (e.g. a radial gradient).

GradientStops object providing access to stops of this gradient.

Raises TypeError when fill is not gradient (call fill.gradient() first). Each stop represents a color between which the gradient smoothly transitions.

Return member of :ref:MsoPatternType indicating fill pattern.

Raises TypeError when fill is not patterned (call fill.patterned() first). Returns None if no pattern has been set; PowerPoint may display the default PERCENT_5 pattern in this case. Assigning None will remove any explicit pattern setting, although relying on the default behavior is discouraged and may produce rendering differences across client applications.

The type of this fill, e.g. MSO_FILL_TYPE.SOLID.

Sets the fill type to noFill, i.e. transparent.

Return a FillFormat instance initialized to the settings contained in eg_fillProperties_parent, which must be an element having EG_FillProperties in its child element sequence in the XML schema.

Sets the fill type to gradient.

If the fill is not already a gradient, a default gradient is added. The default gradient corresponds to the default in the built-in PowerPoint "White" template. This gradient is linear at angle 90-degrees (upward), with two stops. The first stop is Accent-1 with tint 100%, shade 100%, and satMod 130%. The second stop is Accent-1 with tint 50%, shade 100%, and satMod 350%.

Selects the pattern fill type.

Note that calling this method does not by itself set a foreground or background color of the pattern. Rather it enables subsequent assignments to properties like fore_color to set the pattern and colors.

Sets the fill type to solid, i.e. a solid color. Note that calling this method does not set a color or by itself cause the shape to appear with a solid color fill; rather it enables subsequent assignments to properties like fore_color to set the color.
