Aspose.Slides FOSS for C++ es una biblioteca bajo licencia MIT para trabajar con archivos PowerPoint .pptx. Integra la mediante CMake FetchContent y comienza de inmediato a crear, leer y editar presentaciones sin instalar Microsoft Office ni ningún runtime propietario.
La biblioteca expone una API de Presentation construida alrededor de Presentation, Slide, ShapeCollection, TextFrame, Paragraph y Portion, el modelo conceptual utilizado por PowerPoint. Agrega y elimina diapositivas, inserta AutoShapes, Tables y Connectors, formatea texto a nivel de carácter con negrita, cursiva, tamaño y color de fuente, aplica rellenos sólidos o degradados, y añade efectos visuales (sombra, resplandor, desenfoque, reflexión).
La semántica RAII garantiza una limpieza fiable de recursos: el destructor de Presentation libera todo el estado interno automáticamente. Las partes XML desconocidas encontradas durante la carga se conservan literalmente al guardar, de modo que el round‑tripping nunca destruye contenido que la biblioteca aún no comprende. La biblioteca requiere un compilador compatible con C++20.
.pptx files via Presentation() or Presentation(path).SlideCollection with add_empty_slide(), remove(), and remove_at().ShapeType geometries via add_auto_shape().add_connector().NotesSlideManager.pres.comment_authors() and their associated comments.Portion objects via PortionFormat.FillFormat and FillType.EffectFormat.ParagraphFormat and set_alignment().Aspose.Slides FOSS integrates via CMake FetchContent, so no manual download or system-wide installation is needed. The library builds from source alongside your project.
The API mirrors PowerPoint’s own object model (Presentation, Slide, ShapeCollection, TextFrame, Paragraph, Portion), so anyone familiar with the PowerPoint object model can use the library immediately. It is MIT-licensed, open-source on GitHub, and requires a C++20-compliant compiler.
RAII ensures the Presentation destructor releases all resources automatically when the object goes out of scope. add_auto_shape() takes a ShapeType enum, then x/y position and width/height in points — the shape’s text_frame provides access to set text content.

Text formatting works at the Portion level — the smallest unit of a run of characters. Open the saved file, navigate to the first portion of the first paragraph, and set font properties directly. Shape fill is independent: set the fill type to solid and assign a color.
#include <Aspose/Slides/Foss/presentation.h>
namespace asf = Aspose::Slides::Foss;
int main() {
asf::Presentation prs("output.pptx");
auto& shape = prs.slides()[0].shapes()[0];
auto& portion = shape.text_frame()
->paragraphs()[0].portions()[0];
// Bold, 18pt text
portion.portion_format().set_font_bold(asf::NullableBool::TRUE);
portion.portion_format().set_font_height(18);
// Solid background fill on the shape
shape.fill_format().set_fill_type(asf::FillType::SOLID);
prs.save("formatted.pptx", asf::SaveFormat::PPTX);
return 0;
}
It is a free, MIT-licensed C++ library for creating, reading, and editing PowerPoint .pptx presentations without requiring Microsoft Office.
PPTX is the supported read/write format. Export to PDF, HTML, SVG, or images is not available in this edition.
No. Aspose.Slides FOSS is a standalone C++ library with no dependency on Microsoft Office, COM automation, or any proprietary runtime.
Use CMake FetchContent to integrate the library directly from GitHub. The library requires a C++20-compliant compiler.
Yes. The library supports outer shadow, glow, blur, and reflection effects on any shape object via the EffectFormat API.
Yes. The Presentation destructor releases all internal state automatically, so no explicit cleanup is needed.
No. Unknown XML parts encountered during load are preserved verbatim on save, so content the library does not yet understand is never lost.
The library is MIT-licensed and hosted on GitHub. Bug reports and pull requests are welcome.
