One more question. Is there any API that can ungroup a GroupShape?

@kkk123222,
Thank you for posting the question.

Unfortunately, Aspose.Slides for Python does not provide a single method for ungrouping GroupShape objects. But you can clone shapes from a group shape, add them to a slide, and delete the original group shape. The following code snippet shows you how to do this:

for shape in group_shape.shapes:
    slide.shapes.add_clone(shape)

slide.shapes.remove(group_shape)
3

add_clone does not work with custom shape. When I use it to clone custom shapes, the cloned shapes are different from the original ones.

We are sorry that you have to encounter this problem. Please share the following files and information:

  • sample presentation file with the custom shapes
  • output presentation file
  • Aspose.Slides version you used

Then we will investigate the case and help you.

The slide 1 has a group shape including custom shape. I ungroup this group shape and add_clone to a new group shape in slide 2. The position is different. I also find out that if I set shape.x/shape.y value equals to a number with many decimal places, the property value will change. For example I set shape.x = 200.111222333444, then I check the value and it is 200.11117553710938.
