Examples for working with Shapes in PowerPoint presentations using C++

Add-Connected-Shapes.cpp

// File paths
const String sourceFilePath = u"SourceDirectory\\SamplePresentation4.pptx";
const String outputFilePath = u"OutputDirectory\\AddConnectedShapesPresentation.pptx";

// Load the Presentation file
SharedPtr<Presentation> presentation = MakeObject<Presentation>(sourceFilePath);

// Get the first slide
SharedPtr<ISlide> slide = presentation->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);

// Add the first shape
SharedPtr<IAutoShape> ellipse = slide->get_Shapes()->AddAutoShape(ShapeType::Ellipse, 50, 150, 150, 50);

// Add the second shape
SharedPtr<IAutoShape> rectangle = slide->get_Shapes()->AddAutoShape(ShapeType::Rectangle, 100, 300, 100, 100);

// Add the connector
SharedPtr<IConnector> connector = slide->get_Shapes()->AddConnector(ShapeType::BentConnector2, 0, 0, 10, 10);

// Join the shapes with the connector
connector->set_StartShapeConnectedTo(ellipse);
connector->set_EndShapeConnectedTo(rectangle);

// Call reroute to set the automatic shortest path between shapes
connector->Reroute();

// Save Presentation file
presentation->Save(outputFilePath, Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pptx);

Add-Shape.cpp

// Save Presentation file

Clone-Shape.cpp

// File paths
const String sourceFilePath = u"SourceDirectory\\ShapePresentation2.pptx";

Remove-Shape.cpp

// File paths
const String sourceFilePath = u"SourceDirectory\\ShapePresentation.pptx";
