When you select a Shape "images/design-reports/ on your report, in the Properties window, drop down the BackGroundImage - Value property and select <Data Visualizer...> to launch the dialog. The same is true if you select an Image control and drop down the Value property. To build the data visualizer expression, select the appropriate values for each of the options in the dialog.

Parameters

• Hatch style. The available hatch styles are Horizontal, Vertical, ForwardDiagonal, BackwardDiagonal, LargeGrid, and many more.
• Color1. The color of pattern or foreground color.
• Color2. The background color.
