Manage PowerPoint Paragraph

Aspose.Slides provides all the interfaces and classes you need to work with PowerPoint texts, paragraphs, and portions .

  • Aspose.Slides provides the ITextFrame interface to allow you to add objects that represent a paragraph. An ITextFame object can have one or multiple paragraphs (each paragraph is created through a carriage return).
  • Aspose.Slides provides the IParagraph interface to allow you to add objects that represent portions. An IParagraph object can have one or multiple portions (collection of iPortions objects).
  • Aspose.Slides provides IPortion interface to allow you to add objects that represent texts and their formatting properties.

An IParagraph object is capable of handling texts with different formatting properties through its underlying IPortion objects.

Add Multiple Paragraph Containing Multiple Portions

These steps show you how to add a text frame containing 3 paragraphs and each paragraph containing 3 portions:

  1. Create an instance of the Presentation class.
  2. Access the relevant slide’s reference through its index.
  3. Add a Rectangle IAutoShape to the slide.
  4. Get the ITextFrame associated with the IAutoShape.
  5. Create two IParagraph objects and add them to the IParagraphs collection of the ITextFrame.
  6. Create three IPortion objects for each new IParagraph (two Portion objects for default Paragraph) and add each IPortion object to the IPortion collection of each IParagraph.
  7. Set some text for each portion.
  8. Apply your preferred formatting features to each portion using the formatting properties exposed by the IPortion object.
  9. Save the modified presentation.

This PHP code is an implementation of the steps for adding paragraphs containing portions:

  # Instantiate a Presentation class that represents a PPTX file
  $pres = new Presentation();
  try {
    # Accessing first slide
    $slide = $pres->getSlides()->get_Item(0);
    # Add an AutoShape of Rectangle type
    $ashp = $slide->getShapes()->addAutoShape(ShapeType::Rectangle, 50, 150, 300, 150);
    # Access TextFrame of the AutoShape
    $tf = $ashp->getTextFrame();
    # Create Paragraphs and Portions with different text formats
    $para0 = $tf->getParagraphs()->get_Item(0);
    $port01 = new Portion();
    $port02 = new Portion();
    $para0->getPortions()->add($port01);
    $para0->getPortions()->add($port02);
    $para1 = new Paragraph();
    $tf->getParagraphs()->add($para1);
    $port10 = new Portion();
    $port11 = new Portion();
    $port12 = new Portion();
    $para1->getPortions()->add($port10);

    $port20 = new Portion();
    $port21 = new Portion();
    $port22 = new Portion();
    $para2->getPortions()->add($port20);
    $para2->getPortions()->add($port21);
    $para2->getPortions()->add($port22);
    for($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
      for($j = 0; $j < 3; $j++) {
        $portion = $tf->getParagraphs()->get_Item($i)->getPortions()->get_Item($j);
        $portion->setText("Portion0" . $j);
        if ($j == 0) {
          $portion->getPortionFormat()->getFillFormat()->setFillType(FillType::Solid);
          $portion->getPortionFormat()->getFillFormat()->getSolidFillColor()->setColor(java("java.awt.Color")->RED);
          $portion->getPortionFormat()->setFontBold(NullableBool::True);
          $portion->getPortionFormat()->setFontHeight(15);
        } else if ($j == 1) {
          $portion->getPortionFormat()->getFillFormat()->setFillType(FillType::Solid);
          $portion->getPortionFormat()->getFillFormat()->getSolidFillColor()->setColor(java("java.awt.Color")->BLUE);
          $portion->getPortionFormat()->setFontItalic(NullableBool::True);
          $portion->getPortionFormat()->setFontHeight(18);
        }
      }
    }
    # Write PPTX to Disk
    $pres->save("multiParaPort_out.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
  } finally {
    if (!java_is_null($pres)) {
      $pres->dispose();
    }
  }
