The code samples below create a presentation with a slide, add an image with a picture frame and applies animation to it.

  5. Write the presentation to disk.

 //Creating empty presentation

PowerPoint.Presentation pres = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.Presentations.Add(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);

//Add a blank slide

PowerPoint.Slide sld = pres.Slides.Add(1, PowerPoint.PpSlideLayout.ppLayoutBlank);

//Add Picture Frame

PowerPoint.Shape PicFrame = sld.Shapes.AddPicture("pic.jpeg",

Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTriStateMixed,

Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTriStateMixed, 150, 100, 400, 300);

//Applying animation on picture frame

PicFrame.AnimationSettings.EntryEffect = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpEntryEffect.ppEffectBoxIn;

//Saving Presentation

pres.SaveAs("VSTOAnim.ppt", PowerPoint.PpSaveAsFileType.ppSaveAsPresentation,

Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);

Aspose.Slides

Using Aspose.Slides for .NET, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a presentation.
  2. Access the first slide.
  3. Add an image to a picture collection.
  4. Add a picture shape to the slide.
  5. Apply animation to the picture.
  6. Write the presentation to disk.

 //Creating empty presentation

Presentation pres = new Presentation();

//Accessing the First slide

Slide slide = pres.GetSlideByPosition(1);

//Adding the picture object to pictures collection of the presentation

Picture pic = new Picture(pres, "pic.jpeg");

//After the picture object is added, the picture is given a uniqe picture Id

int picId = pres.Pictures.Add(pic);

//Adding Picture Frame

Shape PicFrame = slide.Shapes.AddPictureFrame(picId, 1450, 1100, 2500, 2200);

//Applying animation on picture frame

PicFrame.AnimationSettings.EntryEffect = ShapeEntryEffect.BoxIn;

//Saving Presentation

pres.Write("AsposeAnim.ppt");
