Hi Support Team,
How to copy styles like [ Background color, gradient ] from one shape to another shape?
How to add gradient background color to any of the shape?

Ex; I’ve tried getFillColor and setFillColor but not working, Color object doesn’t have values.

Please share sample code with example.

@csaspose,
You can use Fill.oneColorGradient or Fill.twoColorGradient method to add gradient background to any shape. Please check the following code:

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Shape shapeRec = builder.insertShape(ShapeType.RECTANGLE, 400, 200);
shapeRec.getFill().oneColorGradient(GradientStyle.FROM_CENTER, GradientVariant.VARIANT_1, 45);

Shape shapeTri = builder.insertShape(ShapeType.TRIANGLE, 200, 300);
shapeTri.getFill().twoColorGradient(Color.red, Color.white, GradientStyle.VERTICAL, GradientVariant.VARIANT_3);

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\shapesWithGradients.docx");

Please check the API Reference page for more information.
