2.4.3 AreaFormat

  • Article

The AreaFormat record specifies the patterns and colors used in a filled region of a chart (section 2.2.3.3). If this record is not present in the sequence of records that conforms to the SS rule (section 2.1.7.20.1) of the Chart Sheet Substream ABNF, the patterns and colors used are specified by the default values of the fields of this record.

rgbFore (4 bytes): A LongRGB structure (section 2.5.177) that specifies the foreground color of the fill pattern.<23> The default value of this field is automatically selected from the next available color in the chart (section 2.2.3.3) color table.

rgbBack (4 bytes): A LongRGB structure (section 2.5.177) that specifies the background color of the fill pattern.<24> The default value of this field is 0xFFFFFF.

fls (2 bytes): An unsigned integer that specifies the type of fill pattern. If fls is neither 0x0000 nor 0x0001, this record MUST be immediately followed by a corresponding GelFrame record (section 2.4.131) that specifies the fill pattern. The fillType as specified in [MS-ODRAW] section 2.3.7.1 of the OPT1 field of the corresponding GelFrame record (section 2.4.131) MUST be msofillPattern as specified in [MS-ODRAW] section 2.4.11. The default value of this field is 0x0001. fls MUST be a value from the following table:
