How can I add a pentagon shape (versus regular pentagon shape) on to a slide?

In powerpoint I see there are 2 pentagon shapes when i go into “Add Shape” in the ribbon


1. One is labelled as ‘Pentagon’ - this looks like a rectangle with a triangle to its right (almost similar to an arrow or a tag). Here is an example http://www.presentation-process.com/wp-content/uploads/tag-icon-in-powerpoint.jpg

2. The other is labelled as ‘Regular Pentagon’ - this is a classic pentagon that has 5 points all aligned together. here is an example

In aspose.slides, when i have

Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Pentagon)

it creates #2 above (which is the ‘Regular pentagon’). I don’t see anywhere in aspose.slides ShapeType where i can create #1 above.

Is there anyway in aspose.slides to add the other type of Pentagon which is just labeled as “Pentagon” in powerpoint.

I am using powerpoint 2010 and the latest version of aspose.slides for .net.

Please confirm and thank you for you investigation.

Does that mean that this shape is definitely not possible to create in the latest version or you are just not sure so you are investigating?

Hi Adam,


I have observed your comments and like to share with you that I have investigated it on my end and have found that the requested shape can not be added to a slide so a feature request has been made for implementation of this feature. We will notify you as soon as the support for it will be available.

How can I see what version this is expected to be added in. I would have thought this would be a simple fix but I don’t see this fixed in the latest release that just came out

Is there any update to this request? From reading the release notes, I see that there have been 3 releases since this request and it doesn’t appear that this has been implemented. Can you please confirm that my assumption is correct and provide an expectation update on this request?

Hi Adam,

I have verified the issue status from our issue tracking system and suggest you to please try using the following sample code to add Pentagon shape in your presentation.

Presentation pres1 = new Presentation();
pres1.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Pentagon, 100, 100, 200, 200); // in PowerPoint this is "Regular Pentagon"
pres1.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.HomePlate, 400, 100, 300, 200); // in PowerPoint this is “Pentagon”
pres1.Save(“pres.pptx”, SaveFormat.Pptx);

I hope the shared information will be helpful. Please share, if I may help you further in this regard.

Many Thanks,
