<bg> (Background Formatting)

This element defines formatting that can be applied to the background shape of the entire diagram. The background shape can hold formatting options just as a normal shape can hold within DrawingML.

example: 
<bg>
     <solidFill>
          <schemeClr val="tx1"/>
     </solidFill>
     <effectLst>
          <glow rad="152400">
               <schemeClr val="accent1">
                    <alpha val="75000"/>
               </schemeClr>
          </glow>
     </effectLst>
</bg>

In this example we see a solid fill applied to the background of the diagram along with a glow. ]
