Shape

Shape / GeometryShape / AutoShape — Aspose.Slides FOSS for Java API Reference

GeometryShape is the base class for shapes with geometry, backed by an OOXML shape element. AutoShape extends it with text frame support. Both implement IGeometryShape / IAutoShape.

Usage Examples

Create a Rectangle Shape

import org.aspose.slides.foss.*;

Presentation prs = new Presentation();
ISlide slide = prs.getSlides().get(0);
IAutoShape rect = slide.getShapes().addAutoShape(
    ShapeType.RECTANGLE, 100, 100, 200, 80);
rect.addTextFrame("Hello!");
prs.save("shape.pptx", SaveFormat.PPTX);

Set Shape Properties

IAutoShape shape = slide.getShapes().addAutoShape(
    ShapeType.ELLIPSE, 50, 50, 150, 150);
shape.setName("MyCircle");
shape.setAlternativeText("A circle shape");
shape.setRotation(45.0);
