Syntax

Create a new slide in the presentation:

PptxGenJS · javascript

let slide = pptx.addSlide();

NetCorePpt · C#

var slide = pptx.addSlide();

Returns

The addSlide() method returns a reference to the created Slide object, so method calls can be chained.

PptxGenJS · javascript

let slide1 = pptx.addSlide();
slide1
  .addImage({ path: "img1.png", x: 1, y: 2 })
  .addImage({ path: "img2.jpg", x: 5, y: 3 });

NetCorePpt · C#

var slide1 = pptx.addSlide();

// `addImage` returns the slide again, so the JS chain maps 1:1 onto C#.
slide1
    .addImage(new ImageProps { path = "img1.png", x = 1, y = 2 })
    .addImage(new ImageProps { path = "img2.jpg", x = 5, y = 3 });

You can also create multiple slides:

PptxGenJS · javascript

let slide1 = pptx.addSlide();
slide1.addText("Slide One", { x: 1, y: 1 });

let slide2 = pptx.addSlide();
slide2.addText("Slide Two", { x: 1, y: 1 });

NetCorePpt · C#

var slide1 = pptx.addSlide();
slide1.addText("Slide One", new TextPropsOptions { x = 1, y = 1 });

var slide2 = pptx.addSlide();
slide2.addText("Slide Two", new TextPropsOptions { x = 1, y = 1 });
