SmartArt

What this page is about

Work with SmartArt in Aspose.Slides for C++: create, edit, convert, and style diagrams with C++ for PowerPoint and OpenDocument presentations.

This article demonstrates how to add SmartArt graphics, access them, remove them, and change layouts using Aspose.Slides for C++.

Add SmartArt

Insert a SmartArt graphic using one of the built-in layouts.

#include <DOM/IShapeCollection.h>
#include <DOM/ISlide.h>
#include <DOM/Presentation.h>
#include <DOM/SmartArt/ISmartArt.h>
#include <DOM/SmartArt/SmartArtLayoutType.h>
#include <system/smart_ptr.h>
using namespace Aspose::Slides;
using namespace Aspose::Slides::SmartArt;
using namespace System;

static void AddSmartArt()
{
    auto presentation = MakeObject<Presentation>();
    auto slide = presentation->get_Slide(0);

    auto smartArt = slide->get_Shapes()->AddSmartArt(50.0f, 50.0f, 400.0f, 300.0f, SmartArtLayoutType::BasicProcess);

    presentation->Dispose();
}

Access SmartArt

Retrieve the first SmartArt object on a slide.

#include <DOM/IShape.h>
#include <DOM/IShapeCollection.h>
#include <DOM/ISlide.h>
#include <DOM/Presentation.h>
#include <DOM/SmartArt/ISmartArt.h>
#include <DOM/SmartArt/SmartArtLayoutType.h>
#include <system/object_ext.h>
#include <system/smart_ptr.h>
using namespace Aspose::Slides;
using namespace Aspose::Slides::SmartArt;
using namespace System;

static void AccessSmartArt()
{
    auto presentation = MakeObject<Presentation>();
    auto slide = presentation->get_Slide(0);

    auto smartArt = slide->get_Shapes()->AddSmartArt(50.0f, 50.0f, 400.0f, 300.0f, SmartArtLayoutType::BasicProcess);

    auto firstSmartArt = SharedPtr<ISmartArt>();
    for (auto&& shape : slide->get_Shapes())
    {
        if (ObjectExt::Is<ISmartArt>(shape))
        {
            firstSmartArt = ExplicitCast<ISmartArt>(shape);
            break;
        }
    }

    presentation->Dispose();
}

Remove SmartArt

Delete a SmartArt shape from the slide.

#include <DOM/IShapeCollection.h>
#include <DOM/ISlide.h>
#include <DOM/Presentation.h>
#include <DOM/SmartArt/ISmartArt.h>
#include <DOM/SmartArt/SmartArtLayoutType.h>
#include <system/smart_ptr.h>
using namespace Aspose::Slides;
using namespace Aspose::Slides::SmartArt;
using namespace System;

static void RemoveSmartArt()
{
    auto presentation = MakeObject<Presentation>();
    auto slide = presentation->get_Slide(0);

    auto smartArt = slide->get_Shapes()->AddSmartArt(50.0f, 50.0f, 400.0f, 300.0f, SmartArtLayoutType::BasicProcess);

    slide->get_Shapes()->Remove(smartArt);

    presentation->Dispose();
}

Change SmartArt Layout

Update the layout type of an existing SmartArt graphic.

#include <DOM/IShapeCollection.h>
#include <DOM/ISlide.h>
#include <DOM/Presentation.h>
#include <DOM/SmartArt/ISmartArt.h>
#include <DOM/SmartArt/SmartArtLayoutType.h>
#include <system/smart_ptr.h>
using namespace Aspose::Slides;
using namespace Aspose::Slides::SmartArt;
using namespace System;

static void ChangeSmartArtLayout()
{
    auto presentation = MakeObject<Presentation>();
    auto slide = presentation->get_Slide(0);

    auto smartArt = slide->get_Shapes()->AddSmartArt(50.0f, 50.0f, 400.0f, 300.0f, SmartArtLayoutType::BasicBlockList);
    smartArt->set_Layout(SmartArtLayoutType::VerticalPictureList);

    presentation->Dispose();
}
