How to set background img by Picture or texture fill?

[stevenz-dev]

Office 2007 has the background set which can use Picture or texture fill.

That way, I can use a small image and don't have to use the large image as a background.

I can't find in the documentation that option being available.

Could someone help? or this feature is not developed yet.

Hi Progi1984,

Sure. I’ve attached sample.pptx and the current background images for that slide. Originally, the background was generated using Format Background → Picture or texture fill, but I haven’t been able to replicate that using PhpOffice\PhpPresentation. So I ended up using a full screenshot image as the background instead.

Also, here’s the code I’ve been using to add the background, for your reference.

    //

================================================================================ // new PPTX //

    $objPHPPowerPoint = new PhpPresentation();

    // Set 16:9 layout
    //

---

    $pptLayout = new \PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\DocumentLayout();
    $pptLayout->setDocumentLayout($pptLayout::LAYOUT_SCREEN_16X9);
    $objPHPPowerPoint->setLayout($pptLayout);

    // Create a master layout
    //

---

    $oMasterSlide_Book_Sermon_Title =

$objPHPPowerPoint->getAllMasterSlides()[0]; // Background Img //

    $oBkgImageSlide = new Image();
    $oBkgImageSlide->setPath(public_path().'/bg_Book_Sermon_Title.jpg');
    $oMasterSlide_Book_Sermon_Title->setBackground($oBkgImageSlide);

    // New Master Slide
    $objPHPPowerPoint->createMasterSlide();

    // Master Slide Content
    //

---

    $oMasterSlide_Content = $objPHPPowerPoint->getAllMasterSlides()[1];

    $oBkgImageSlide = new Image();
    $oBkgImageSlide->setPath(public_path().'/bg_Content.jpg');
    $oMasterSlide_Content->setBackground($oBkgImageSlide);
