FillFormat

Shape.FillFormat property

Returns the FillFormat object that contains fill formatting properties for a shape. Note: can return null for certain types of shapes which don’t have fill properties. Read-only IFillFormat.

public virtual IFillFormat FillFormat { get; }

Examples

The following example shows how to change the accent color for a theme of PowerPoint Presentation.

[C#]
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
    IAutoShape shape = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 10, 10, 100, 100);
    shape.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
    shape.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.SchemeColor = SchemeColor.Accent4;
}

The following example demonstrates how to obtain palette colors from the main theme color and then used in shapes.

[C#]
using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation())
{
    ISlide slide = presentation.Slides[0];
    // Accent 4
    IShape shape1 = slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 10, 10, 50, 50);
    shape1.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
    shape1.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.SchemeColor = SchemeColor.Accent4;
    // Accent 4, Lighter 80%
    IShape shape2 = slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 10, 70, 50, 50);
    shape2.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
    shape2.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.SchemeColor = SchemeColor.Accent4;
    shape2.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.ColorTransform.Add(ColorTransformOperation.MultiplyLuminance, 0.2f);
    shape2.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.ColorTransform.Add(ColorTransformOperation.AddLuminance, 0.8f);
    // Accent 4, Lighter 60%
    IShape shape3 = slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 10, 130, 50, 50);
    shape3.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
    shape3.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.SchemeColor = SchemeColor.Accent4;
    shape3.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.ColorTransform.Add(ColorTransformOperation.MultiplyLuminance, 0.4f);
    shape3.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.ColorTransform.Add(ColorTransformOperation.AddLuminance, 0.6f);
    // Accent 4, Lighter 40%
    IShape shape4 = slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 10, 190, 50, 50);
    shape4.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
    shape4.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.SchemeColor = SchemeColor.Accent4;
    shape4.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.ColorTransform.Add(ColorTransformOperation.MultiplyLuminance, 0.6f);
    shape4.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.ColorTransform.Add(ColorTransformOperation.AddLuminance, 0.4f);
    // Accent 4, Darker 25%
    IShape shape5 = slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 10, 250, 50, 50);
    shape5.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
    shape5.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.SchemeColor = SchemeColor.Accent4;
    shape5.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.ColorTransform.Add(ColorTransformOperation.MultiplyLuminance, 0.75f);
    // Accent 4, Darker 50%
    IShape shape6 = slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 10, 310, 50, 50);
    shape6.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
    shape6.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.SchemeColor = SchemeColor.Accent4;
    shape6.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.ColorTransform.Add(ColorTransformOperation.MultiplyLuminance, 0.5f);
    presentation.Save("example.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}
