Pattern Fill Add-In for PowerPoint
In PowerPoint 2007 the chart feature of
using pattern fills was deprecated.
For backward compatibility the functionality was included in the
new charting engine. Only the interface to it was excluded.
This add-in provides the UI in order to use that functionality.
|
| |
The add-in adds a new group to the following
contextual tabs, which appear when a chart is selected.
-
Chart Tools, Format
-
Drawing Tools, Format
-
Table Tools, Layout
The dialog allows you to select Foreground and Background
colours. |
|
|
When the selected object is a chart you will be able to select
the chart element that you want to format with a pattern fill.
By default the pattern will be applied to all points in a
series.
If you want to apply a different pattern to a specific data
point you can do so by selecting a data point form the second
dropdown.
 
|
|
|
When completed the chosen pattern and colours
are applied to the select chart element, if applicable.
Chart with normal formatting
Chart with Shingle pattern applied.
The add-in will handle
shapes as well. The Pattern Fill button also appears on the
Drawing Tools Format contextual tab when a shape is selected.

You can apply pattern fills to the following
charting elements

Note: Due to the fact that
using VBA destroys the undo stack you will not be able to use
undo to restore any changes made using the add-in.
