Setting table height and width doesn't do anything.

[boncyrus]

How do I set the table's width and height as a whole without setting each and every data cells?
I'm simply setting it like I normally do with other shapes. See the example code below.

Code: Select all

table.Height = 50;
table.Width =  20;


The table in the code above is ITable. I did notice that even if I set those properties manually using Visual Studio watch, it doesn't do anything.
Versions tested:
- Spire.Presentation for .NET 7.8.0 and 8.2.0

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
When you are creating a table, you need to specify the height of rows and the width of columns, our Spire. Presentation will calculate table data based on the information you provided. After the table is created, if you want to reassign the width and height, our Spire. Presentation does not know how to allocate these values, so the reassignment will fail.
If you have any questions, just feel free to contact us.

So you cannot change the height and width of a table shape if it already exists?

This is what we are trying to do, look at the before and after in the image:

Is this above not possible? If so, please share the code snippet.

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Adjusting the table’s width and height as a whole is not available, but you can adjust the width and height of each cell can also achieve the same effect. Please see the following code for reference.

Code: Select all

            Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
            ppt.LoadFromFile("Move table shape.pptx");
            ITable table;
            // for example, set the table's width and length you want
            double tableWidth = 87;
            double tableHeight = 170;
            foreach (IShape shape in ppt.Slides[0].Shapes)
            {
                if (shape is ITable)
                {
                    table = (ITable)shape;

                    for (int i = 0; i < table.TableRows.Count; i++)
                    {
                        table.TableRows[i].Height = tableWidth/table.TableRows.Count;
                    }

                    for (int i = 0; i < table.ColumnsList.Count; i++)
                    {
                        table.ColumnsList[i].Width = tableHeight/ table.ColumnsList.Count;
                    }
                }
            }
            ppt.SaveToFile("output.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);

If the code does not meet your requirement or you have further questions, just feel free to contact us.
