Save Shape as PictureFrame

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi,

I would like to take a shape that is a PictureFrame, and save it to a file.

I tried serializing the shape to a stream, and writing the stream to disk, but it is not recognized as any file type, even with an extension, that I tried appending to the filename(.jpeg, .png, or .wmf).

Can you help? Here is my code snippet:

using (Stream stream = File.Create(newfileName)){

(shape as Aspose.Slides.PictureFrame).Serialize(stream);

}

Thanks,
Karen Schmidt

Hi Karen,

Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Slides.

Please use the code snippet below, that will help in finding a shape that is a PictureFrame and store that shape as Jpeg image. You can also visit this link for further information. Please find the attached demo presentation and generated Jpeg file.

//Instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPT file
Presentation pres = new Presentation("D://ppt//demo.ppt");

//Accessing a slide using its slide position
Slide slide = pres.GetSlideByPosition(1);

//Iterate all shapes on a slide and create thumbnails
Shapes shapes = slide.Shapes;

// Traversing throuhg all shapes in slide
for (int i = 0; i < shapes.Count; i++)
{
    Shape shape = shapes[i];

    //Getting the thumbnail image of the shape
    if (shape is PictureFrame)
    {
        //Getting picure frame in Image
        System.Drawing.Image img = slide.GetThumbnail(new object[] { shape }, 2.0, 2.0, shape.ShapeRectangle);

        //Saving the thumbnail image in Jpeg format
        img.Save("d://ppt//demo.Jpeg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    }

    // System.Drawing.Imaging.
}
}

Thanks and Regards,
