Within the Format Picture Task Pane, click the Texture button (highlighted in orange within Figure 4, above) to open the same Texture gallery that you saw in Figure 3, earlier on this page.Then click the Picture or texture fill radio button (highlighted in blue within Figure 4). Make sure that the Fill & Line tab is selected (highlighted in red within Figure 4). This opens the Format Picture Task Pane that you can see in Figure 4.Alternatively, click the More Textures option, shown highlighted in blue within Figure 3, above.
This applies the texture to the selected shape. You can either choose any of the visible textures from this Texture sub-gallery.From the Shape Fill drop-down gallery, choose Texture to bring up the Texture sub-gallery (see Figure 3 again). This brings up the Shape Fill drop-down gallery, as shown in Figure 3. Within the Shape Format tab, click the right-side portion of the Shape Fill button shown highlighted in red within Figure 3.They only make an appearance when you are working with a particular slide object which can be edited using special options. These tabs are special tabs in the Ribbon that are not visible all the time. Note: The Shape Format tab is a Contextual tab. You can also use a non-seamless picture as a texture, almost like the sample on the right in Figure 1 above! PowerPoint 2016 for Mac includes 24 seamless textures which can be applied to any shape, and you can even import more seamless textures that you can buy from third-party providers like. If you want to see the picture below in a larger size, click on it to open a new window that shows a larger preview.įigure 1: Seamless and non-seamless samples In Figure 1, the graphic on the left shows how a texture tiles up, while the graphic on the right shows how a regular bitmap that is not seamless tiles up. Seamless means that if you tile up a texture, it will not show any edges while tiling, thus providing an illusion of a seamless expanse. The main difference between textures and pictures is that while textures are seamless, bitmaps are not necessarily seamless. Yes, both textures and pictures are bitmaps saved in pixel based formats like JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, TIFF, etc. If you want to see a sample presentation showing texture fills in PowerPoint, scroll down to the bottom of this page.īefore we get into textures, it's important to understand how PowerPoint treats them differently from pictures. PowerPoint includes a built-in library of textures, and you can also import any picture, to be used as a texture. The texture fills incidentally are not too different from picture fills, other than the fact that they can be tiled. PowerPoint's fill options for shapes are extensive.
