Convert EMF to Drawing Objects

Aspose.Slides Product Family
1

Hi There,

I would like to import an EMF file and convert that PictureFrame to drawing objects.

In Powerpoint there is a way to do that:

  • Select EMF Image
  • Right Click -> Group -> Ungroup
  • “This is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing objects” -> Click Yes

But I would like to do that in Aspose.Slides:

....
var bytes = File.ReadAllBytes("my_file.emf");
var emfImage = pres.Images.AddImage(bytes);
IPictureFrame frame = Slide.gSlide.Shapes.AddPictureFrame(ShapeType.Rectangle, 0, 0, emfImage.Width, emfImage.Height, emfImage);
....
//CONVERT FRAME TO DRAWING OBJECTS OR UNGROUP IT
....

Is there any way to do that programmatically ?

Many thanks,
Marius W.

@Dejab,

I have observed your comments. I have shared sample code with you. This will help you to achieve your requirements. Please share feedback with us if there is still an issue.

 pres = new Presentation();
        var bytes = File.ReadAllBytes("test.emf");
        var emfImage = pres.Images.AddImage(bytes);
    IPictureFrame frame = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddPictureFrame(ShapeType.Rectangle, 0, 0, emfImage.Width, emfImage.Height, emfImage);

        IShape shape = pres.Slides[0].Shapes[pres.Slides[0].Shapes.Count - 1];
        shape.GetThumbnail(ShapeThumbnailBounds.Shape, 1,1) .Save("tteesstt.png", ImageFormat.Emf);
        Process.Start("tteesstt.png");

Hi There,

Many thanks but that’s not really helping. Now I have a png file of my emf image.

I would like to ungroup that emf shape object with Aspose.Slides to get multiple objects.

In the end I would like to import a SVG Image to powerpoint to have multiple objects to edit that.

I have found a way to convert SVG to EMF and now i will import that EMF file and ungroup it programmatically to have multiple objects to edit them.

Many Thanks,
Marius W.

@Dejab,

I have observed your last post where by you have mentioned that you need to import SVG image to PowerPoint. I suggest you to please visit documentation article, Import SVG in slide. You can also export slide to SVG as well, if that is also a requirement on your end.

Hi There,

Many Thanks - I see that article a few days earlier.
It helps - but not a 100% solution.

I would like to have multiple drawing objects of this SVG file.

If i import that SVG File with Shapes.AddPictureFrame i have one big objects.
I would like to ungroup that shape programmatically to multiple objects.

i have shared two powerpoint files with you.
one of them has ONE big EMF Objects and the other has multiple objects.

Archiv.zip (58.6 KB)

And this i would like to do programmatically.

You know what i mean ?

Many Thanks,
Marius W.
