public final Class ImagePattern

The ImagePattern class fills a shape with an image pattern. The user may specify the anchor rectangle, which defines the position, width, and height of the image relative to the upper left corner of the shape. If the shape extends out of the anchor rectangle, the image is tiled.

If the proportional variable is set to true (the default) then the anchor rectangle should be specified relative to the unit square (0.0->1.0) and will be stretched across the shape. If the proportional variable is set to false, then the anchor rectangle should be specified in the local coordinate system of the shape and the image will be stretched to fit the anchor rectangle. The anchor rectangle will not be stretched across the shape.

The example below demonstrates the use of the proportional variable. The shapes on the top row use proportional coordinates (the default) to specify the anchor rectangle. The shapes on the bottom row use absolute coordinates. The flower image is stretched to fill the entire triangle shape, while the dot pattern image is tiled within the circle shape.
