Table Overflow in a Presentation Slide when Adding a Column in C#

I am adding dynamic columns to a table in slide using table.Columns.AddClone. But if column number is large then table columns get plotted outside side.
Is there anyway to adjust table automatically to fit in the slide?

I tried to set table width. But its not working.

Thanks

To automatically adjust a table to fit within a slide when adding a large number of columns using Aspose.Slides for Java, you can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the Total Width: First, determine the total width of all the columns you are adding. This will help you understand how much space your table will require.

  2. Set the Table Width: You can set the width of the table to fit within the slide dimensions. If the total width exceeds the slide width, you may need to adjust the width of individual columns.

  3. Distribute Columns Evenly: If the number of columns is large, consider distributing the width of the table evenly across all columns. This can be done by dividing the total width of the table by the number of columns.

  4. Use AutoFit: Aspose.Slides provides methods to automatically fit the table to the slide. You can use the AutoFit feature to adjust the table size based on the content and the available space.

Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates how to adjust the table width and distribute the columns evenly:

// Assuming 'table' is your Table object and 'slide' is your Slide object
double slideWidth = slide.getSlideSize().getSize().getWidth();
double totalWidth = 0;

// Calculate total width of all columns
for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumns().size(); i++) {
    totalWidth += table.getColumns().get(i).getWidth();
}

// Check if total width exceeds slide width
if (totalWidth > slideWidth) {
    double newColumnWidth = slideWidth / table.getColumns().size();
    for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumns().size(); i++) {
        table.getColumns().get(i).setWidth(newColumnWidth);
    }
}

// Optionally, you can call AutoFit
table.autoFit();

This code checks if the total width of the columns exceeds the slide width and adjusts the width of each column accordingly. Additionally, it calls the autoFit method to ensure the table fits well within the slide.

By following these steps, you should be able to manage the table’s dimensions effectively, preventing any overflow outside the slide area.

@snehalg,
We are sorry that you encountered this problem.

The issue was resolved in Aspose.Slides for .NET 24.10. We recommend that you use the latest version of Aspose.Slides for .NET.

If you are using an earlier version, please try the following to resolve the issue:

var slideWidth = presentation.SlideSize.Size.Width;
var maxTableWidth = slideWidth - table.X;

if (table.Width > maxTableWidth)
{
    var maxColumnWidth = maxTableWidth / table.Columns.Count;
    foreach (var column in table.Columns)
    {
        column.Width = maxColumnWidth;
    }
}
