Presentation

✓ from aspose.slides import Presentation

✗ import aspose.slides as slides; pres = slides.Presentation()

Creates a simple presentation with one slide, adds a rectangle with text, and saves as PPTX.

import aspose.slides as slides # Create a presentation pres = slides.Presentation() # Add a slide and a shape slide = pres.slides[0] shape = slide.shapes.add_auto_shape(slides.ShapeType.RECTANGLE, 50, 50, 200, 100) # Add text shape.text_frame.text = 'Hello, Aspose.Slides!' # Save pres.save('output.pptx', slides.export.SaveFormat.PPTX) print('Presentation saved.')

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe Presentation class must be disposed to release .NET resources. Use a context manager or call dispose() explicitly to avoid memory leaks.

fix

with slides.Presentation() as pres: ... or pres = slides.Presentation(); ...; pres.dispose()

affects: all

gotchaImporting aspose.slides takes a few seconds because it loads .NET runtime. Do not import in hot loops.

fix

Perform import once at module level, not inside functions/loops.

affects: all

breakingIn version 24.x, the aspose.slides namespace was restructured. Some classes moved to submodules (e.g., SaveFormat moved to aspose.slides.export).

fix

Update imports: from aspose.slides.export import SaveFormat instead of from aspose.slides import SaveFormat.

affects: >=24.0

gotchaThe Slice class was renamed to Slide in older versions. Always use slides.Slide for slide objects.

fix

Use pres.slides[0] to access slides; iterate with for slide in pres.slides:

affects: all

deprecatedMethods like add_rectangle() and add_ellipse() are deprecated. Use add_auto_shape() with ShapeType instead.

fix

shape = slide.shapes.add_auto_shape(slides.ShapeType.RECTANGLE, left, top, width, height)

affects: >=24.0
