2.2.7.3.6 Sketch Effect Set

A sketch effect set allows a shape, master, or style to take on a less polished appearance as if drawn by hand. It cannot be combined with other distinct effect sets. Each shape, master, or style has at most one sketch effect set.

Sketch effect set information in shapes, masters, and styles is specified by the SketchEnabled, SketchSeed, SketchAmount, SketchLineWeight, SketchLineChange, and SketchFillChange Cell_Type elements.

A sketch effect set renders a new geometry path for a shape, master, or style’s fill and distorts both the shape, master, or style’s geometry path and the fill’s geometry by rendering each path segment with randomized perturbations. The geometry section of the shape, master, or style is not modified.

The value of the structure of a SketchSeed Cell_Type element is used to randomize path segment perturbations in both the geometry path and the fill’s geometry. If the value of the structure of a SketchSeed Cell_Type element is equivalent for shapes, masters, or styles with identical geometry paths, the shapes, masters, or styles render identical sketch effect sets.

If a sketch effect set is active on a shape, master, or style, other effect sets do not render.
