Adding SVG image to Slide

[junichi.matsunoshita@fujixerox.co.jp]

Hi,

I'm trying to add SVG image to Slide with this code.

string image_path = "c:\sample.svg";
IEmbedImage ashape = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendEmbedImage(ShapeType.Rectangle, image_path, new RectangleF(0, 0, 100, 200));

but it caused a error System.OutOfMemoryException.
The image size is not so large.

Could you give me a correcting to me? Or, Is it available to add SVG to Slide?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry and sorry for the late reply as weekend.

Please refer to the following code to add the svg file to the slide.

Code: Select all

            Presentation pptPresentation = new Presentation();
            ISlide slide = pptPresentation.Slides[0];
            string image_path = @"J:\Source\ConsoleApp1\ConsoleApp1\bin\Debug\svgPic.svg";
            RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(50, 50, 300, 100);


            FileStream fileStream = File.Open(image_path, FileMode.Open);
            byte[] svgObj = new byte[fileStream.Length];
            fileStream.Read(svgObj, 0, svgObj.Length);

            IOleObject ole = slide.Shapes.AppendOleObject("svgPic.svg",svgObj, rect);

            pptPresentation.SaveToFile("addPic.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);


If the code does not match your needs, please provide us with your input file and expect result file.

Sincerely,

Thank you for the reply.
I tried the code you gave in the reply, but it doesn't work as I expected. The shape added by the code just shows a text message "No Picture" in it and it isn't the image of the SVG file.
The SVG file I tried to add as a shape is a graphic like a icon or illustration, not a raster image. Are there any way to do that?
regards.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.
Regarding the "No Picture" issue, it is because that when using our Spire.Presentation to add an ole object, you also need to use the following code to add a filling picture to the ole object, otherwise it will display the text "No Picture".

Code: Select all

            Image image = Image.FromFile(@"logo.png");
            IImageData oleImage = pptPresentation.Images.Append(image);
            //...
            ole.SubstituteImagePictureFillFormat.Picture.EmbedImage = oleImage;

We are sorry that our Spire.Presentation does not yet support adding SVG files as raster images directly to PPT. But we will consider adding a new feature to implement it. If there is any good news in the future, we will notify you.
Apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Hi.
I think your advice means to add another picture file to the shape instead from the SVG and that is not the solution for my demand.
I wish you will add the function to add SVG to slide for future version of Spire.Presentation.
thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

Okay, we will add the function to directly add SVG files to PPT. If it is implemented in the future, we will let you know.
