Shapes and Schemes

PowerPoint Shape Types

The library comes with over 180 built-in PowerPoint shapes (thanks to officegen project).

• Use inline typescript definitions to view available shapes
• or see ShapeType in index.d.ts for the complete list

PowerPoint Scheme Colors

Scheme color is a variable that changes its value whenever another scheme palette is selected. Using scheme colors, design consistency can be easily preserved throughout the presentation and viewers can change color theme without any text/background contrast issues.

• Use inline typescript definitions to view available colors
• or see SchemeColor in index.d.ts for the complete list

To use a scheme color, set a color constant as a property value:

slide.addText("Scheme Color 'text1'", { color: pptx.SchemeColor.text1 });

See the Shapes Demo for Scheme Colors demo

export enum SchemeColor {
    "text1" = "tx1",
    "text2" = "tx2",
    "background1" = "bg1",
    "background2" = "bg2",
    "accent1" = "accent1",
    "accent2" = "accent2",
    "accent3" = "accent3",
    "accent4" = "accent4",
    "accent5" = "accent5",
    "accent6" = "accent6",
}
