In this topic, we will introduce developers about adding ellipse shapes to their slides using Aspose.Slides for C++ . Aspose.Slides for C++ provides an easier set of APIs to draw different kinds of shapes with just a few lines of code. To add a simple ellipse to a selected slide of the presentation, please follow the steps below:

  1. Create an instance of Presentation class
  2. Obtain the reference of a slide by using its Index
  3. Add an AutoShape of Ellipse type using AddAutoShape method exposed by IShapes object
  4. Write the modified presentation as a PPTX file

In the example given below, we have added an ellipse to the first slide.
