In order to change the look of a shape, users can add a solid, gradient, pattern or picture fill to it. Spire.Presentation supports all fill types listed. This article will introduce how to add a picture fill to a shape in C# and VB.NET.
Code Snippets:
Step 1: Initialize an instance of Presentation class.
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
Step 2: Add a shape to the first slide.
IAutoShape shape = (IAutoShape)ppt.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.DoubleWave, new RectangleF(100, 100, 400, 200));
Step 3: Set the FillType as picture and fill the shape with an image.
string picUrl = @"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\image.jpg"; shape.Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Picture; shape.Fill.PictureFill.Picture.Url = picUrl;
Step 4: Set the picture fill mode to stretch.
shape.Fill.PictureFill.FillType = PictureFillType.Stretch;
Step 5: Save to file.
ppt.SaveToFile("shape.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
