Aspose.Slides - Create Bullet List in Presentation

Bullets are more useful where the something is to be described in steps. Moreover, text looks well organised with the use of bullets. Bulleted paragraphs are always easier to read and understand. We will see that how developers can use this small yet powerful feature of Aspose.Slides for Java.

//Creating a paragraph
Paragraph para = new Paragraph();

//Setting paragraph bullet style and symbol
para.getParagraphFormat().getBullet().setType(BulletType.Symbol);
para.getParagraphFormat().getBullet().setChar((char) 8226);

//Setting paragraph text
para.setText("Welcome to Aspose.Slides");

//Setting bullet indent
para.getParagraphFormat().setIndent(25);

//Setting bullet color
para.getParagraphFormat().getBullet().getColor().setColorType(ColorType.RGB);
para.getParagraphFormat().getBullet().getColor().setColor(Color.BLACK);

// set IsBulletHardColor to true to use own bullet color
para.getParagraphFormat().getBullet().setBulletHardColor(NullableBool.True);

//Setting Bullet Height
para.getParagraphFormat().getBullet().setHeight(100);
