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: This attribute is primarily used to keep track of the picture quality within a document. There are different levels of quality needed for print than on-screen viewing and thus a need to track this information. end 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.
