Methods

NameDescription
AddPlaceholder(IPlaceholder)Adds a new placeholder if there is no and sets placeholder properties to a specified one.
CreateShapeElements()Creates and returns array of shape’s elements.
GetBasePlaceholder()Returns a basic placeholder shape (shape from the layout and/or master slide that the current shape is inherited from). A null is returned if the current shape is not inherited.
GetGeometryPaths()Returns the copy of path of the geometry shape. Coordinates are relative to the left top corner of the shape.
GetThumbnail()Returns shape thumbnail. ShapeThumbnailBounds.Shape shape thumbnail bounds type is used by default.
GetThumbnail(ShapeThumbnailBounds, float, float)Returns shape thumbnail.
RemovePlaceholder()Defines that this shape isn’t a placeholder.
SetGeometryPath(IGeometryPath)Updates shape geometry from IGeometryPath object. Coordinates must be relative to the left top corner of the shape. Changes the type of the shape (ShapeType) to Custom.
SetGeometryPaths(IGeometryPath[])Updates shape geometry from array of IGeometryPath. Coordinates must be relative to the left top corner of the shape. Changes the type of the shape (ShapeType) to Custom.
WriteAsSvg(Stream)Saves content of Shape as SVG file.

Examples

The following examples shows how to change Audio Frame Thumbnail.

[C#]
using (var presentation = new Presentation())
{
    var slide = presentation.Slides[0];
    // Adds an audio frame to the slide with a specified position and size.
    var audioStream = new FileStream("sample2.mp3", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
    var audioFrame = slide.Shapes.AddAudioFrameEmbedded(150, 100, 50, 50, audioStream);
    audioStream.Dispose();
    // Adds an image to presentation resources.
    var imageStream = File.OpenRead("eagle.jpeg");
    var audioImage = presentation.Images.AddImage(imageStream);
    imageStream.Dispose();
    // Sets the image for the audio frame.
    audioFrame.PictureFormat.Picture.Image = audioImage;
	//Saves the modified presentation to disk
    presentation.Save("example_out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}
