Render XML to POT within C++ Applications
Convert XML to POT within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to integrate XML to POT conversion feature inside your C++ applications. This is because POT is a presentation file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint, and XML is a markup language used to store and transport data. Converting XML to POT allows you to create presentations from data stored in XML format.
How Aspose.Total Helps for XML to POT Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to create, edit, and convert documents, images, and other file formats. It includes two APIs, Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++, which can be used to export XML to PPTX and convert PPTX to POT, respectively.
Using Aspose.PDF for C++, you can easily export XML to PPTX. It provides a set of features to manipulate PDF documents, such as creating, editing, and converting PDF files. It also supports a wide range of image formats, including JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.
Aspose.Slides for C++ is a powerful API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert presentations. It supports a wide range of presentation formats, including PPTX, PPT, PPSX, and PPS. It also provides features to manipulate presentations, such as adding text, images, shapes, and charts. With Aspose.Slides for C++, you can easily convert PPTX to POT.
By using Aspose.Total for C++, you can easily integrate XML to POT conversion feature inside your C++ applications. It provides a comprehensive set of APIs to create, edit, and convert documents, images, and other file formats. With Aspose.PDF for C++, you can export XML to PPTX, and with Aspose.Slides for C++, you can convert PPTX to POT.
C++ API to Export XML to POT
- Open XML file using Document class reference
- Convert XML to PPTX by using Save method function
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class reference
- Save the document to POT format using
Save
member function and set
Potas SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Automation APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load XML file with an instance of Document class
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"template.xml");
// save XML as PPTX format
doc->Save(u"PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
SharedPtr<Presentation> prs = MakeObject<Presentation>(u"PptxOutput.pptx");
// save the presentation as Pot format
prs->Save(u"output.pot", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pot);
Change Password of XML Document via C++
In the process of rendering XML to POT, you can open a password protected XML and also change its password. In order to change the password of a XML file, you must know the owner password of that document. You can load password protected PDF document with Aspose.PDF for C++ by specifying its owner password and use ChangePasswords method to change the password.
// load an existing XML Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.xml", L"owner");
// change password of XML Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Add Images From Web in POT File via C++
After converting XML to POT, you can also add images from web to your output document. Aspose.Slides for C++ supports operations with images in these popular formats: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and others. You can add one or several images on your computer onto a slide in a presentation. This sample code in C++ shows you how to add an image to a POT file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a POT file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.pot");
// get slide
auto slide = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);
// initialize Web Client
auto webClient = System::MakeObject<WebClient>();
// get image data
auto imageData = webClient->DownloadData(System::MakeObject<Uri>(u"[REPLACE WITH URL]"));
// add image
auto image = pres->get_Images()->AddImage(imageData);
// add picture frame
slide->get_Shapes()->AddPictureFrame(ShapeType::Rectangle, 10.0f, 10.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, image);
// save updated file
pres->Save(u"updated.pot", SaveFormat::Pot);
