Hi ,

lets try again.

Is it possible to make presentations with wide format and aspect ratio of 16:9?

When i make masters in a pot file they are created with aspect ratio of 4:3.

i hope this explains.

Thanks

Hi Tajamal,


Yes, you can set the presentation slide size type to aspect ration 4:3 and 16:9 in case of PPTX using PresentationEx.SlideSize.Type property. Please observe the SlideSizeTypeEx enumeration as it contain the various options for setting slide types.

Many Thanks,

Hi Tajamal,


Please use the following code snippet for setting the aspect ration to 16:9. Please share if I may help you further in this regard.

PresentationEx pres = new PresentationEx();
pres.SlideSize.Type = SlideSizeTypeEx.OnScreen16x9;
pres.Write(“D:\Aspose Data\Temp.pptx”);

How would you generate pot files, my code which i have been using doesn’t include method CloneSlide in PresentationEx Class.


var license = new License();
license.SetLicense(“Aspose.Slides.lic”);
var output = new Presentation();
var count = 0;
foreach (var slides in Directory.GetFiles(@“c:\temp”, “*.ppt”))
{
var pres = new Presentation(slides);

var intSlide = pres.Slides.Count;
for (var i = 0; i < intSlide; i++)
{
var _slide = pres.Slides[i];
if (_slide.SlideId >= 0x80000000)
{
var copy = pres.CloneSlide(_slide, count, output, new System.Collections.SortedList());
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{1}: {0}", Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(slides),copy.SlideId - 0x80000000));
}
}
count++;
}
output.Masters.RemoveAt(0);
output.Write(@“C:\masters.pot”);

Hi Tajamal,

I have tailored your code to work in my environment using Aspose.Slides for .NET 6.0.0 and it worked fine on my end. For your kind reference, I have attached the generated presentation. Please use the specified product version on your end.

public static void GeneratePOT()
{
String path = @"C:\";
Presentation output = new Presentation();
int count = 0;
Presentation pres = new Presentation(path + "test_1.ppt");
{
int intSlide = pres.Slides.Count;
for (int i = 0; i < intSlide; i++)
{
Slide _slide = pres.Slides[i];
if (_slide.SlideId >= 0x80000000)
{
Slide copy = pres.CloneSlide(_slide, count, output, new System.Collections.SortedList());
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{1}: {0}", "test_1.ppt", copy.SlideId - 0x80000000));
}
}
count++;
}
output.Masters.RemoveAt(0);
output.Write(@"D:\masters.pot");
}

Many Thanks,

Hi Mudassir,

But that should be in wide format, why is it square?

I dont get it, do you?

Hi Tajamal,


I have observed the issue shared by you. This is not an issue. Actually, you are just cloning slide but you are not setting presentation slides size in out put presentation. The output presentation has default slide and the cloned slide gets the same size. This is not an issue as the slide size property is something that is set on presentation level and cloning is done on slide level. I hope you are getting my point. You need to add following statement just before saving presentation to have the same slide size.

output.SlideSize = pres.SlideSize;

Many Thanks,
