Manage Paragraph

Multiple Paragraphs having Multiple Portions

An ITextFame object can have one or more Paragraphs (every paragraph is created through a carriage return), that is a collection of IParagraph objects. Furthermore, an IParagraph object can have one or more Portions (a collection of IPortion objects. An IPortion object manages text and its formatting properties. So, it means that IParagraph object has the capacity to handle text with different formatting properties through its underlying IPortion objects. Please follow the steps below to add TextFrame having 3 paragraphs and 3 portions for each paragraph using Aspose.Slides for C++ :

  • Create an instance of Presentation class.
  • Obtain the reference of a slide by using its Index.
  • Add an IAutoShape of Rectangle type to the slide.
  • Access the ITextFrame associated with the IAutoShape.
  • Create two IParagraph objects and add it to the IParagraphs collection of the ITextFrame.
  • Create three IPortion objects for each new IParagraph (two Portion objects for default Paragraph) and add each IPortion object to the IPortions collection of each IParagraph.
  • Set some text for each Portion.
  • Apply the desired formatting features to each Portion using different formatting properties exposed by IPortion object.
  • Write the modified presentation as a PPTX file.

The implementation of the above steps is given below.

Paragraph Bullets in PPTX
