PowerPoint’s fill options for shapes are extensive. The texture fills for shape incidentally are not too different from picture fills, other than the fact that they can be tiled. PowerPoint includes a built-in library of textures, and you can also import any picture, to be used as a texture.
PowerPoint treats textures differently from pictures—both textures and pictures are bitmaps saved in pixel based formats like JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, TIFF, etc. The main difference between textures and pictures is that while textures are seamless, pictures are not necessarily seamless. Seamless means that if you tile up a texture, they will not show any edges while tiling thus provide an illusion of a seamless expanse.

Themes also influence how charts look within Excel and PowerPoint, and also how your tables appear in all Office programs.
