Variant Required Long. The gradient variant for the specified fill. Can be a value from 1 through 4, corresponding to the four variants listed on the Gradient tab in the Fill Effects dialog box. If Style is msoGradientFromCenter, the Variant argument can only be 1 or 2.
PresetGradientType Required MsoPresetGradientType. The gradient type for the specified fill.
| MsoPresetGradientType can be one of these MsoPresetGradientType constants. |
