Linked image to shape

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi Mudassir,


How can I add a linked image to a shape ?

In case of a picture, there is a method PictureFrame.setPictureFileName(), which will accept an uri. But in case of FillFormat of a shape, there is no such option. With the FillFormat.setPictureId(), it is not possible to create a picture unless we have an Input Stream to the picture.

Kindly suggest a work around for the same. We are using Aspose Slides for Java version 2.4.0

Thanks,

Hi Manivannan,

Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Slides.

I have tried to understand your problem statement and based on my understanding, please use following code snippet to set URL of shape with Fill Format picture.

PresentationEx pres = new PresentationEx(“c:\LinkImage.pptx”);
ShapeEx shp = pres.getSlides().get(0).getShapes().get(0);
shp.getFillFormat().getPictureFillFormat().getPicture().setUrl("… URL… ");
I hope this answers your query.

Hi Tahir Manzoor,


Sorry, I forgot to mention that it is in ppt and not pptx. How can we achieve the same in ppt (2003) format ?

Thanks for your quick reply.

Best Regards,
