Boolean

When shape resizing is enabled you can restrict shape sizes with the following properties: minWidth, maxWidth, minHeight, and maxHeight.

backgroundImageHeight

Specifies the shape background image's fractional height.

Type:

Number

This property specifies a fraction from 0 to 1 that represents the shape background image height in relation to the shape height. If the backgroundImageHeight property is set to 1, the image height is equal to the shape height.

The absolute image height is calculated by multiplying the backgroundImageHeight value by the shape's height.

backgroundImageLeft

Specifies the shape background image's left offset.

Type:

Number

This property specifies a fractional left offset of a shape background image toward the shape width. If the backgroundImageLeft property is set to 0, the image's left edge matches the shape's left edge.

The absolute offset is calculated by multiplying the backgroundImageLeft value by the shape's width.

backgroundImageToolboxUrl

Specifies a shape image displayed in a toolbox.

Type:

String

If the backgroundImageToolboxUrl property is not set, the toolbox displays an image specified in the backgroundImageUrl property.

NOTE

backgroundImageTop

Specifies the shape background image's top offset.

Type:

Number

This property specifies the top offset (in fractions) of a shape's background image in relation to the shape's height. If the backgroundImageTop property is set to 0, the image's top edge matches the shape's top edge.

The absolute offset is calculated by multiplying the backgroundImageTop value by the shape's height.

backgroundImageUrl

Specifies the shape background image's URL.
