Java: Set Backgrounds for PowerPoint Presentations

2023-07-28 01:18:06 Written by support iceblue

The background of a PowerPoint presentation sets the tone and mood of the presentation and can greatly enhance the aesthetic and impact of the slides. There are five types of backgrounds available in PowerPoint presentations, solid color backgrounds, gradient backgrounds, picture backgrounds, texture backgrounds, and patterned backgrounds. They each apply to different usage scenarios. For example, a professional business presentation may benefit from a clean and simple solid color background, while a creative presentation may use inspiring and interesting picture backgrounds to capture the audience's attention. This article is going to show how to set backgrounds for PowerPoint presentations through Java programs using Spire.Presentation for Java.

Set a Solid Color Background for a PowerPoint Presentation

Before customizing the background, it is necessary to use the SlideBackground.setType(BackgroundType.CUSTOM) method to allow the customization of the background. Then, the background type can be set to solid color background using the SlideBackground.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.SOLID) method, and the color can be set using the FillFormat.getSolidColor().setColor() method.

The detailed steps are as follows:

Create an object of Presentation class.
Load a PowerPoint presentation using Presentation.loadFromFile() method.
Get the first slide using Presentation.getSlides().get() method.
Get the background of the slide using ISlide.getSlideBackground() method.
Set the background type to custom background to enable the customization of the background using SlideBackground.setType(BackgroundType.CUSTOM) method.
Set the fill type of the background to solid color using SlideBackground.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.SOLID) method.
Customize the background color using FillFormat.getSolidColor().setColor() method.
Save the presentation using Presentation.saveToFile() method.

Add Superscript and Subscript

Spire.Presentation for Java provides the PortionEx.getFormat().setScriptDistance(float value) method for applying superscript or subscript formatting to text. The value can be set as positive or negative. The bigger the positive value, the higher the superscript will appear above your text. The smaller the negative value, the lower the subscript will appear below your text.

The following are the steps to add superscript or subscript to a PowerPoint document:

Create a Presentation instance and load a PowerPoint document using Presentation.loadFromFile() method.
Get the desired slide using Presentation.getSlides().get() method.
Add a shape to the slide using ISlide.getShapes().appendShape() method and set shape fill type and line color.
Access the text frame of the shape using IAutoShape.getTextFrame() method, then clear the default paragraph in the text frame using ITextFrameProperties.getParagraphs().clear() method.
Create a paragraph using ParagraphEx class, and add normal text to the paragraph using ParagraphEx.setText() method.
Create a portion with text using PortionEx class, and then apply superscript or subscript formatting to the text using PortionEx.getFormat().setScriptDistance(float value) method.
Set text color, font and font size for the normal text and the superscript or subscript text.
Append the paragraph to the text frame of the shape using ITextFrameProperties.getParagraphs().append() method.
Save the result document using Presentation.saveToFile() method.

Java

import com.spire.presentation.*;
import com.spire.presentation.drawing.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class AddSuperscriptAndSubscript {
    public static void main(String []args) throws Exception {

        //Load a PowerPoint document

        presentation.loadFromFile("template.pptx");

        //Get the first slide
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get(0);

        //Add a shape to the slide
        IAutoShape shape = slide.getShapes().appendShape(ShapeType.RECTANGLE, new Rectangle(150, 100, 200, 50));
        shape.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
        shape.getShapeStyle().getLineColor().setColor(Color.white);

        //Access the text frame of the shape

        ParagraphEx para = new ParagraphEx();
        para.setText("E=mc");
        
        //Create a portion with superscript text
        PortionEx tr = new PortionEx("2");
        tr.getFormat().setScriptDistance(40);
        
        //Append the portion to the paragraph
        para.getTextRanges().append(tr);
        
        para.getTextRanges().append(new PortionEx("\n"));

Java: Change the Slide Size in PowerPoint

2023-08-03 08:50:00 Written by support iceblue

The slide size is one of the important aspects of the visual design of PowerPoint presentations. It influences the aspect ratio and dimensions of the presentation and can have a significant impact on the overall appearance and atmosphere of the presentation. If the default slide size does not meet the visual design requirements or does not match the size of the screen showing the presentation, it is necessary to change the size of the slides to another preset size or customize a slide size. This article will demonstrate how to change the slide size of PowerPoint presentations through Java programs using Spire.Presentation for Java.

        //Create an object of Presentation class
        Presentation pt = new Presentation();

        //Load a presentation file
        pt.loadFromFile("Sample.pptx");

        //Change the slide size of the presentation to A4
        pt.getSlideSize().setType(SlideSizeType.A4);

Load a PowerPoint presentation using Presentation.loadFromFile() method.
Change the slide size type to custom using Presentation.getSlideSize().setType() method.
Customize the slide size using Presentation.getSlideSize().setSize() method.
Save the presentation using Presentation.saveToFile() method.

import com.spire.presentation.Presentation;
import com.spire.presentation.SlideSize;
import com.spire.presentation.SlideSizeType;

import java.awt.*;

public class changeSlideSizeCustom {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //Create an object of Presentation class
        Presentation pt = new Presentation();

        //Load a PowerPoint presentation
        pt.loadFromFile("Sample.pptx");

        //Change the slide size type to custom
        pt.getSlideSize().setType(SlideSizeType.CUSTOM);

        //Set the slide size
        pt.getSlideSize().setSize(new Dimension(600, 600));

        //Save the presentation file
        pt.saveToFile("CustomSize.pptx", FileFormat.AUTO);
