ShapeRectangleOffset Interface

Defines the offsets from the corresponding edges of the shape to which the gradient or picture fill is applied.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Drawings

Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

C#

public interface ShapeRectangleOffset

VB.NET

Public Interface ShapeRectangleOffset

Related API Members

The following members return ShapeRectangleOffset objects:

• ShapeComplexFill.FillRect
• ShapeGradientFill.TileRect
• ShapePictureFill.SourceRect

Remarks

An object exposing the ShapeRectangleOffset interface is used to specify the ShapeComplexFill.FillRect, ShapePictureFill.SourceRect and ShapeGradientFill.TileRect properties.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a scatter chart with straight lines and markers and customize its appearance by applying the complex gradient to the chart background. Set the gradient fill by calling the ShapeOutlineFill.SetGradientFill method, and then specify the gradient direction From Center by utilizing the ShapeComplexFill.FillRect property.

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["chartScatter"];
