Set Local Font Height Values in PowerPoint using Java

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to manipulate font heights at various levels within PowerPoint presentations using Aspose.Slides for Java. Controlling font sizes is crucial for creating visually appealing and structured presentations. We will walk through step-by-step examples to illustrate how to set font heights for different text elements.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system
• Aspose.Slides for Java library. You can download it here.
• A basic understanding of Java programming and PowerPoint presentations

Import Packages

Make sure to include the necessary Aspose.Slides packages in your Java file:

import com.aspose.slides.*;

Step 1: Initialize a Presentation Object

First, create a new PowerPoint presentation object:

Presentation pres = new Presentation();

Step 2: Add a Shape and Text Frame

Add an auto shape with a text frame to the first slide:

IAutoShape newShape = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes().addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 100, 100, 400, 75, false);
newShape.addTextFrame("");

Step 3: Create Text Portions

Define text portions with different font heights:

IPortion portion0 = new Portion("Sample text with first portion");
IPortion portion1 = new Portion(" and second portion.");
newShape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0).getPortions().add(portion0);
newShape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0).getPortions().add(portion1);

Step 4: Set Font Heights

Set font heights at different levels:

pres.getDefaultTextStyle().getLevel(0).getDefaultPortionFormat().setFontHeight(24);
newShape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0).getParagraphFormat().getDefaultPortionFormat().setFontHeight(40);
newShape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0).getPortions().get_Item(0).getPortionFormat().setFontHeight(55);
newShape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0).getPortions().get_Item(1).getPortionFormat().setFontHeight(18);

Step 5: Save the Presentation

Save the modified presentation to a file:

pres.save("YourOutputDirectory/SetLocalFontHeightValues.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Conclusion

This tutorial demonstrated how to adjust font heights within PowerPoint slides programmatically using Aspose.Slides for Java. By manipulating font sizes at different levels (presentation-wide, paragraph, and portion), you can achieve precise control over text formatting in your presentations.
