# patternStyle attribute

The patternStyle attribute specifies a pattern for the object or state. The pattern appears on the face of the object. The pattern does not cover the object’s border, caption, or image. If the object’s backStyle attribute is Transparent, the pattern is not visible.

The patternStyle attribute must be within an object element or, if the pattern is applied to a state, within a state element that is within a states element.
