SlideMaster Class

A slide master in a presentation.

Declaration

public class SlideMaster extends MasterElement

Remarks

A Slide Master (SlideMaster) is a top-level presentation template that defines common content, formatting, layouts, and placeholder settings for slides. Changes made to a slide master are automatically applied to all slides that use layouts associated with that master.

A presentation can contain multiple slide masters. You can create groups of slides with different themes, backgrounds, placeholder arrangements, and shared content within the same presentation.

The following code snippet creates two slide masters. Since every presentation must contain at least one slide master, a newly created presentation initially contains a default slide master. The resetTo(T) method replaces that default master with a new one.

import com.devexpress.docs.presentation.*;

// Create a presentation.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();

// Create a slide master and replace the default master.
SlideMaster slideMaster1 = new SlideMaster("master");
presentation.getSlideMasters().resetTo(slideMaster1);

// Create and add another slide master.
SlideMaster slideMaster2 = new SlideMaster();
presentation.getSlideMasters().add(slideMaster2);

Refer to the following help topic for additional information: Configure Slide Masters and Layouts.

Warning

A presentation requires at least one slide master. If you attempt to save a presentation where the slide masters collection is empty, the DevExpress Presentation API throws an exception.
