Rectangle

Like previous topics, this one is also about adding a shape and this time the shape we will discuss about is Rectangle. In this topic, we have described that how developers can add simple or formatted rectangles to their slides using Aspose.Slides for Android via Java.

Add Rectangle to Slide

To add a simple rectangle to a selected slide of the presentation, please follow the steps below:

Create an instance of Presentation class.
Obtain the reference of a slide by using its Index.
Add an IAutoShape of Rectangle type using addAutoShape method exposed by IShapeCollection object.
Write the modified presentation as a PPTX file.

In the example given below, we have added a simple rectangle to the first slide of the presentation.

// Instantiate Prseetation class that represents the PPTX
Presentation pres = new Presentation();
try {
    // Get the first slide
    ISlide sld = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0);

    // Add AutoShape of ellipse type
    IShape shp = sld.getShapes().addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 50, 150, 150, 50);

    // Write the PPTX file to disk
    pres.save("RecShp1.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}

Add Formatted Rectangle to Slide

To add a formatted rectangle to a slide, please follow the steps below:

Create an instance of Presentation class.
Obtain the reference of a slide by using its Index.
Add an IAutoShape of Rectangle type using addAutoShape method exposed by IShapeCollection object.
Set the Fill Type of the Rectangle to Solid.
Set the Color of the Rectangle using SolidFillColor.setColor method as exposed by IFillFormat object associated with the IShape object.
Set the Color of the lines of the Rectangle.
Set the Width of the lines of the Rectangle.
Write the modified presentation as PPTX file.

The above steps are implemented in the example given below.

// Instantiate Prseetation class that represents the PPTX
Presentation pres = new Presentation();
try {
    // Get the first slide
    ISlide sld = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0);

    // Add AutoShape of ellipse type
    IShape shp = sld.getShapes().addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 50, 150, 150, 50);

    // Apply some formatting to ellipse shape
    shp.getFillFormat().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
    shp.getFillFormat().getSolidFillColor().setColor(Color.GRAY);

    // Apply some formatting to the line of Ellipse
    shp.getLineFormat().getFillFormat().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
    shp.getLineFormat().getFillFormat().getSolidFillColor().setColor(Color.BLACK);
    shp.getLineFormat().setWidth(5);

    // Write the PPTX file to disk
    pres.save("RecShp2.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}
