Create and Apply Slide Masters in PowerPoint in Java

The slide master in PowerPoint preserves some fixed styles, such as headline, background, property and so on. Pre-configured unique slide master can be applied in all slides, and we can customize multiple slide masters and apply them to different slides. In this article, I’ll show you how to create slide masters and apply them in a PowerPoint file by using Free Spire.Presentation for Java.

BEFORE START

Download the latest version of Free Spire.Presentation for Java, unzip it and add Spire.Presentation.jar located in the “lib” folder to your Java IDEA.

Besides, if you are creating a Maven project, you can easily add the jar dependency by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Using the code

Sample 1 Apply One Slide Master in PowerPoint

import com.spire.presentation.drawing.FillFormatType;
import com.spire.presentation.drawing.IImageData;
import com.spire.presentation.drawing.PictureFillType;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

public class UniqueSlideMaster {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //create a Presentation object and specify the slide size
        Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
        presentation.getSlideSize().setType(SlideSizeType.SCREEN_16_X_9);

        //get the first slide master
        IMasterSlide masterSlide = presentation.getMasters().get(0);

        //set the background image of the slide master
        String backgroundPic = "C:\\Users\\Test1\\Desktop\\Background.jpg";
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new FileInputStream(backgroundPic));
        IImageData imageData = presentation.getImages().append(image);
        masterSlide.getSlideBackground().setType(BackgroundType.CUSTOM);
        masterSlide.getSlideBackground().getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.PICTURE);
        masterSlide.getSlideBackground().getFill().getPictureFill().setFillType(PictureFillType.STRETCH);
        masterSlide.getSlideBackground().getFill().getPictureFill().getPicture().setEmbedImage(imageData);

        //add an image (company logo) to slide master
        String logo = "C:\\Users\\Test1\\Desktop\\logo.png";
        image = ImageIO.read(new FileInputStream(logo));
        imageData = presentation.getImages().append(image);
        IEmbedImage imageShape = masterSlide.getShapes().appendEmbedImage(ShapeType.RECTANGLE,imageData,new Rectangle2D.Float(50,50,200,100));
        imageShape.getLine().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);

        //add some text (company name) to slide master
        IAutoShape textShape = masterSlide.getShapes().appendShape(ShapeType.RECTANGLE, new Rectangle2D.Float((float) presentation.getSlideSize().getSize().getWidth()-220,(float) presentation.getSlideSize().getSize().getHeight()-60,200,30));//Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, new RectangleF(ppt.SlideSize.Size.Width-200, ppt.SlideSize.Size.Height-60, 200, 30));
        textShape.getTextFrame().setText("Eagle Media Co., LTD");
        textShape.getTextFrame().getTextRange().setFontHeight(20f);
        textShape.getTextFrame().getTextRange().getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.SOLID);
        textShape.getTextFrame().getTextRange().getFill().getSolidColor().setColor(Color.blue);
        textShape.getTextFrame().getTextRange().getParagraph().setAlignment(TextAlignmentType.CENTER);
        textShape.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
        textShape.getLine().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);

        //append a new slide
        presentation.getSlides().append();

        //save to file
        presentation.saveToFile("output/UniqueSlideMaster.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2013);
        presentation.dispose();

    }
}
