Introduction

Slides are pages in a presentation. Slides are stored as a zero based array in PHPPresentation object.

Create slide

Use the method createSlide to create a new slide and retrieve the slide for other operation such as creating shapes for that slide. The slide will be added at the end of slides collection.

<?php

$slide = $presentation->createSlide();

Add slide to a specific position

Use the method addSlide to add an existing slide to a specific position. Without the parameter $position, it will be added at the end of slides collection.

<?php

use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Slide;

$slide = new Slide($presentation);
## Add it before all slides
$presentation->addSlide($slide, 0);
## Add it to position 1
$presentation->addSlide($slide, 1);
## Add it after all slides
$presentation->addSlide($slide);

Properties

By default, a slide has not a name. You can define it with the method setName.

<?php

$slide->setName('Title of the slide');

Visibility

By default, a slide is visible. You can define it with the method setIsVisible.

<?php

$slide = $presentation->createSlide();
