Ink

This article provides examples of accessing existing ink shapes and removing them using Aspose.Slides for Android via Java.

❗ Note: Ink shapes represent user input from specialized devices. Aspose.Slides cannot create new ink strokes programmatically, but you can read and modify existing ink.

Access Ink

Read the tags from the first ink shape on a slide.

static void accessInk() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation("ink.pptx");
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        IShape shape = slide.getShapes().get_Item(0);
        if (shape instanceof IInk) {
            IInk inkShape = (IInk) shape;
            ITagCollection tags = inkShape.getCustomData().getTags();
            if (tags.size() > 0) {
                String tagName = tags.getNameByIndex(0);
                // Use tagName as needed.
            }
        }
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}

Remove Ink

Delete an ink shape from the slide if one exists.

static void removeInk() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation("ink.pptx");
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        IInk ink = null;
        for (IShape shape : slide.getShapes()) {
            if (shape instanceof IInk) {
                ink = (IInk) shape;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (ink != null) {
            slide.getShapes().remove(ink);
        }
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}
