# Fill

The object for setting a fill type and attachment for a component’s background fill.

```
object Fill
```

## Discussion

This is an abstract definition. Don’t use this object type directly; use only the objects that extend `Fill,` for example [`GradientFill`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/GradientFill), [`ImageFill`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/ImageFill), `and` [`VideoFill`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/VideoFill).
