OneColorGradient

Sets the specified fill to a one-color gradient.

Patterned

Sets the specified fill to a pattern.

PresetGradient

Sets the specified fill to a preset gradient.

PresetTextured

Sets the specified fill to a preset texture.

Solid

Sets the specified fill to a uniform color. Use this method to convert a gradient, textured, patterned, or background fill back to a solid fill.

TwoColorGradient

Sets the specified fill to a two-color gradient.

UserPicture

Fills the specified shape with one large image.

UserTextured

Fills the specified shape with small tiles of an image.
