<blipFill> (Picture Fill)

This element specifies the type of picture fill that the picture object will have. 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

Description

<dpi> (DPI Setting)

Namespace: .../drawingml/2006/main

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:

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

<rotWithShape> (Rotate With Shape)

Namespace: .../drawingml/2006/main

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 will be transformed with the same rotation.

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

The following XML Schema fragment defines the contents of this element:
