Picture Fill

Texture Fill

Set the Stretch property to false to tile the shape with a picture as shown below.

C#

// Create a rectangle.
Shape rectangle = document.Shapes.InsertShape(document.Range.Start, ShapeGeometryPreset.Rectangle, new RectangleF(300, 200, 500, 350));
// Use a picture to fill the rectangle.
rectangle.Fill.SetPictureFill(DocumentImageSource.FromFile("PictureFill_Leaf.png"));
// Access picture fill settings.
PictureFill pictureFill = rectangle.Fill.PictureFill;
// Tile the picture as texture.
pictureFill.Stretch = false;
// Scale the picture to 50% of its original size.
pictureFill.ScaleX = 0.5f;
pictureFill.ScaleY = 0.5f;
// Specify the first tile position.
pictureFill.TileAlign = TileAlignType.TopLeft;
// Specify the mirror type for tiles.
pictureFill.TileFlip = TileFlipType.Vertical;
