Images in Slides In Presentations
Images make presentations more engaging and interesting. In Microsoft PowerPoint, you can insert pictures from a file, the internet, or other locations onto slides. Similarly, Aspose.Slides allows you to add images to slides in your presentations through different procedures.
Tip
Aspose provides free converters—JPEG to PowerPoint and PNG to PowerPoint—that allow people to create presentations quickly from images.Info
If you want to add an image as a frame object—especially if you plan to use standard formatting options on it to change its size, add effects, and so on—see Picture Frame.Note
You can manipulate input/output operations involving images and PowerPoint presentations to convert an image from one format to another. See these pages: convert image to JPG; convert JPG to image; convert JPG to PNG, convert PNG to JPG; convert PNG to SVG, convert SVG to PNG.Aspose.Slides supports operations with images in these popular formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, and others.
Adding Images Stored Locally to Slides
You can add one or several images on your computer onto a slide in a presentation. This sample code shows you how to add an image to a slide:
$pres = new Presentation();
try {
$slide = $pres->getSlides()->get_Item(0);
$picture;
$image = Images->fromFile("image.png");
try {
$picture = $pres->getImages()->addImage($image);
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($image)) {
$image->dispose();
}
}
$slide->getShapes()->addPictureFrame(ShapeType::Rectangle, 10, 10, 100, 100, $picture);
$pres->save("pres.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($pres)) {
$pres->dispose();
}
}
Adding Images From the Web to Slides
If the image you want to add to a slide is unavailable on your computer, you can add the image directly from the web.
This sample code shows you how to add an image from the web to a slide :
$pres = new Presentation();
try {
$slide = $pres->getSlides()->get_Item(0);
$imageUrl = new URL("[REPLACE WITH URL]");
$connection = $imageUrl->openConnection();
$inputStream = $connection->getInputStream();
$outputStream = new Java("java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream");
$Array = new java_class("java.lang.reflect.Array");
$Byte = new JavaClass("java.lang.Byte");
try {
$buffer = $Array->newInstance($Byte, 1024);
$read;
while ($read = $inputStream->read($buffer, 0, $Array->getLength($buffer)) != -1) {
$outputStream->write($buffer, 0, $read);
}
$outputStream->flush();
$image = $pres->getImages()->addImage($outputStream->toByteArray());
$slide->getShapes()->addPictureFrame(ShapeType::Rectangle, 10, 10, 100, 100, $image);
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($inputStream)) {
$inputStream->close();
}
$outputStream->close();
}
$pres->save("pres.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
} catch (JavaException $e) {
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($pres)) {
$pres->dispose();
}
}
Adding Images to Slide Masters
A slide master is the top slide that stores and controls information (theme, layout, etc.) about all slides under it. So, when you add an image to a slide master, that image appears on every slide under that slide master.
This Java sample code shows you how to add an image to a slide master:
$pres = new Presentation();
try {
$slide = $pres->getSlides()->get_Item(0);
$masterSlide = $slide->getLayoutSlide()->getMasterSlide();
$picture;
$image = Images->fromFile("image.png");
try {
$picture = $pres->getImages()->addImage($image);
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($image)) {
$image->dispose();
}
}
$masterSlide->getShapes()->addPictureFrame(ShapeType::Rectangle, 10, 10, 100, 100, $picture);
$pres->save("pres.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($pres)) {
$pres->dispose();
}
}
Adding Images as Slide Background
You may decide to use a picture as the background for a specific slide or several slides. In that case, you have to see Setting Images as Backgrounds for Slides.
Adding SVG to Presentations
You can add or insert any image into a presentation by using the addPictureFrame method that belongs to the IShapeCollection interface.
To create an image object based on SVG image, you can do it this way:
- Create SvgImage object to insert it to ImageShapeCollection
- Create PPImage object from ISvgImage
- Create PictureFrame object using IPPImage interface
This sample code shows you how to implement the steps above to add an SVG image into a presentation:
# Instantiate Presentation class that represents PPTX file
$pres = new Presentation();
try {
$Array = new JavaClass("java.lang.reflect.Array");
$Byte = (new JavaClass("java.lang.Byte"))->TYPE;
try {
$dis = new Java("java.io.DataInputStream", new Java("java.io.FileInputStream", "image.svg"));
$bytes = $Array->newInstance($Byte, $dis->available());
$dis->readFully($bytes);
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($dis)) $dis->close();
}
$svgContent = new String($bytes);
$svgImage = new SvgImage($svgContent);
$ppImage = $pres->getImages()->addImage($svgImage);
$pres->getSlides()->get_Item(0)->getShapes()->addPictureFrame(ShapeType::Rectangle, 0, 0, $ppImage->getWidth(), $ppImage->getHeight(), $ppImage);
$pres->save("output.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
} catch (JavaException $e) {
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($pres)) {
$pres->dispose();
}
}
Converting SVG to a Set of Shapes
Aspose.Slides' conversion of SVG to a set of shapes is similar to the PowerPoint functionality used to work with SVG images:
The functionality is provided by one of the overloads of the addGroupShape method of the IShapeCollection interface that takes an ISvgImage object as the first argument.
This sample code shows you how to use the described method to convert an SVG file to a set of shapes:
# Create new presentation
$presentation = new Presentation();
try {
# Read SVG file content
$Array = new JavaClass("java.lang.reflect.Array");
$Byte = (new JavaClass("java.lang.Byte"))->TYPE;
try {
$dis = new Java("java.io.DataInputStream", new Java("java.io.FileInputStream", "image.svg"));
$bytes = $Array->newInstance($Byte, $dis->available());
$dis->readFully($bytes);
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($dis)) $dis->close();
}
$svgContent = $bytes;
# Create SvgImage object
$svgImage = new SvgImage($svgContent);
# Get slide size
$slideSize = $presentation->getSlideSize()->getSize();
# Convert SVG image to group of shapes scaling it to slide size
$presentation->getSlides()->get_Item(0)->getShapes()->addGroupShape($svgImage, 0.0, 0.0, $slideSize->getWidth(), $slideSize->getHeight());
# Save presentation in PPTX format
$presentation->save("output.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
} catch (JavaException $e) {
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($presentation)) {
$presentation->dispose();
}
}
Adding Images as EMF in Slides
Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java allows you to generate EMF images from excel sheets and add the images as EMF in slides with Aspose.Cells.
This sample code shows you how to perform the described task:
$book = new Workbook("chart.xlsx");
$sheet = $book->getWorksheets()->get(0);
$options = new ImageOrPrintOptions();
$options->setHorizontalResolution(200);
$options->setVerticalResolution(200);
$options->setImageType(ImageType::EMF);
# Save the workbook to stream
$sr = new SheetRender($sheet, $options);
$pres = new Presentation();
try {
$pres->getSlides()->removeAt(0);
$EmfSheetName = "";
for($j = 0; $j < java_values($sr->getPageCount()) ; $j++) {
$EmfSheetName = "test" . $sheet->getName() . " Page" . $j + 1 . ".out.emf";
$sr->toImage($j, $EmfSheetName);
$picture;
$image = Images->fromFile($EmfSheetName);
try {
$picture = $pres->getImages()->addImage($image);
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($image)) {
$image->dispose();
}
}
$slide = $pres->getSlides()->addEmptySlide($pres->getLayoutSlides()->getByType(SlideLayoutType::Blank));
$m = $slide->getShapes()->addPictureFrame(ShapeType::Rectangle, 0, 0, $pres->getSlideSize()->getSize()->getWidth(), $pres->getSlideSize()->getSize()->getHeight(), $picture);
}
$pres->save("output.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
} catch (JavaException $e) {
} finally {
if (!java_is_null($pres)) {
$pres->dispose();
}
}
