## Attributes
| Name| Type| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| backgroundColor | [ResourceColor](ts-types.md#resourcecolor) | The table below describes the attributes used to set the background color of a component.|
| backgroundImage | src: [ResourceStr](ts-types.md#resourcestr),
repeat?: [ImageRepeat](ts-appendix-enums.md#imagerepeat) | **src**: image address, which can be the address of an Internet or a local image. (SVG images are not supported.)
**repeat**: whether the background image is repeatedly used. By default, the background image is not repeatedly used.|
| backgroundImageSize | {
width?: [Length](ts-types.md#length),
height?: [Length](ts-types.md#length)
} \| [ImageSize](ts-appendix-enums.md#imagesize) | Width and height of the background image. If the input is a **{width: Length, height: Length}** object and only one attribute is set, the other attribute is the set value multiplied by the original aspect ratio of the image. By default, the original image aspect ratio remains unchanged.
Default value: **ImageSize.Auto**|
| backgroundImagePosition | [Position](ts-types.md#position8) \| [Alignment](ts-appendix-enums.md#alignment) | Position of the background image in the component.
Default value:
{
x: 0,
y: 0
} |
## Example
```ts

@Entry
@Component
struct BackgroundExample {
build() {
Column({ space: 5 }) {
Text('background color').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
Row().width('90%').height(50).backgroundColor(0xE5E5E5).border({ width: 1 })
Text('background image repeat along X').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
Row()
.backgroundImage('/comment/bg.jpg', ImageRepeat.X)
.backgroundImageSize({ width: '250px', height: '140px' })
.width('90%')
.height(70)
.border({ width: 1 })
Text('background image repeat along Y').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
Row()
.backgroundImage('/comment/bg.jpg', ImageRepeat.Y)
.backgroundImageSize({ width: '500px', height: '120px' })
.width('90%')
.height(100)
.border({ width: 1 })
Text('background image size').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
Row()
.width('90%').height(150)
.backgroundImage('/comment/bg.jpg', ImageRepeat.NoRepeat)
.backgroundImageSize({ width: 1000, height: 500 })
.border({ width: 1 })
Text('background fill the box(Cover)').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
// Occupy all the space of the container, without ensuring that the image is completely displayed.
Row()
.width(200)
.height(50)
.backgroundImage('/comment/bg.jpg', ImageRepeat.NoRepeat)
.backgroundImageSize(ImageSize.Cover)
.border({ width: 1 })
Text('background fill the box(Contain)').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
// Maximize the image while ensuring that it can be completely displayed.
Row()
.width(200)
.height(50)
.backgroundImage('/comment/bg.jpg', ImageRepeat.NoRepeat)
.backgroundImageSize(ImageSize.Contain)
.border({ width: 1 })
Text('background image position').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
Row()
.width(100)
.height(50)
.backgroundImage('/comment/bg.jpg', ImageRepeat.NoRepeat)
.backgroundImageSize({ width: 1000, height: 560 })
.backgroundImagePosition({ x: -500, y: -300 })
.border({ width: 1 })
}
.width('100%').height('100%').padding({ top: 5 })
