AddTable()

ShapeCollection::AddTable(float, float, System::ArrayPtr<double>, System::ArrayPtr<double>) method

Creates a new Table and adds it to the end of the collection.

System::SharedPtr<ITable> Aspose::Slides::ShapeCollection::AddTable(float x, float y, System::ArrayPtr<double> columnWidths, System::ArrayPtr<double> rowHeights) override

Arguments

ParameterTypeDescription
xfloatThe X-coordinate for a left side of shape’s frame.
yfloatThe Y-coordinate for a top side of shape’s frame.
columnWidthsSystem::ArrayPtr<double>Array of doubles which represents widths of columns in the table.
rowHeightsSystem::ArrayPtr<double>Array of doubles which represents heights of rows in the table.

Return Value

Created Table object.

Remarks

The following examples shows how to add table in PowerPoint Presentation.

// Instantiate Presentation class that represents PPTX file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>();
// Access first slide
auto slide = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);
// Define columns with widths and rows with heights
System::ArrayPtr<double> dblCols = System::MakeArray<double>({50, 50, 50});
System::ArrayPtr<double> dblRows = System::MakeArray<double>({50, 30, 30, 30, 30});
// Add table shape to slide
System::SharedPtr<ITable> table = slide->get_Shapes()->AddTable(100.0f, 50.0f, dblCols, dblRows);
// Set border format for each cell
for (int32_t row = 0; row < table->get_Rows()->get_Count(); row++)
{
    auto currentRow = table->get_Rows()->idx_get(row);
    for (int32_t col = 0; col < currentRow->get_Count(); col++)
    {
        auto cell = currentRow->idx_get(col);
        auto cellFormat = cell->get_CellFormat();
        cellFormat->get_BorderTop()->get_FillFormat()->set_FillType(FillType::Solid);
        cellFormat->get_BorderTop()->get_FillFormat()->get_SolidFillColor()->set_Color(System::Drawing::Color::get_Red());
        cellFormat->get_BorderTop()->set_Width(5);
        cellFormat->get_BorderBottom()->get_FillFormat()->set_FillType(FillType::Solid);
        cellFormat->get_BorderBottom()->get_FillFormat()->get_SolidFillColor()->set_Color(System::Drawing::Color::get_Red());
        cellFormat->get_BorderBottom()->set_Width(5);
        cellFormat->get_BorderLeft()->get_FillFormat()->set_FillType(FillType::Solid);
        cellFormat->get_BorderLeft()->get_FillFormat()->get_SolidFillColor()->set_Color(System::Drawing::Color::get_Red());
        cellFormat->get_BorderLeft()->set_Width(5);
        cellFormat->get_BorderRight()->get_FillFormat()->set_FillType(FillType::Solid);
        cellFormat->get_BorderRight()->get_FillFormat()->get_SolidFillColor()->set_Color(System::Drawing::Color::get_Red());
        cellFormat->get_BorderRight()->set_Width(5);
    }
}

// Merge cells 1 & 2 of row 1
table->MergeCells(table->get_Rows()->idx_get(0)->idx_get(0), table->get_Rows()->idx_get(1)->idx_get(1), false);
// Add text to the merged cell
table->get_Rows()->idx_get(0)->idx_get(0)->get_TextFrame()->set_Text(u"Merged Cells");
// Save PPTX to Disk
pres->Save(u"table.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
