Texture Property Page - Template Creator
The texture property page is available for pie slices, legends, and the background. It lets you specify textures and colors and also lets you import textures (jpeg or bitmap formats).
Note that the elements for this property page may differ, depending on the chart element the Textures page applies to.
To display this property page either double-click on an appropriate element or right-click over the element and select 'Properties'.
The following is a description of what you can do via this property page:
|
Type |
|
|
No Texture |
No texture will be used. |
|
Texture |
Use the texture selected from the texture window (the window to the immediate right of the Texture button). When this option is selected you can not specify a color. |
|
Colored Texture |
Enabled for pie slices. This lets you specify
a texture and a color. |
|
Tile |
Enabled for legends and the background. If
this is checked then the selected texture will be tiled. If it is not
selected the texture will be enlarged to fill the relevant window area. |
|
Side Texture |
Only available for pie slices. Sets the texture
to be used for the sides of a pie slice. This is useful for exploded pie
segments. |
|

applicable to the pie chart. |
|
Back to Series |
Used for other Dundas Chart chart types. Not
applicable to the pie chart. |
|
Textures Disabled |
Disables the use of textures. Note that the
elements still own the textures. |
|
Color |
Select a color for the element. You can specify
a color AND a texture for a pie element. |
|
Import Texture |
Import a texture to be used for the element.
The texture should be a jpeg or bitmap, and the maximum size of the image
is 1024 X 1024 pixels. The width and height of the image must also be
to the base 2 (e.g. 2^m = Width and 2^n = Height in pixels). |
Textures or colors for a legend element will be applied to the background
of the entire legend.
IMPORTANT: The maximum size of an imported texture (jpeg or bitmap) is 1024 X 1024 pixels. Also, the width and height of the image must be to the base 2 (e.g. 2^m = Width and 2^n = Height in pixels, where n and m are whole numbers).
