PPTX import improvements

Radek Doulik

PPTX Import

Areas to improve

Smart Art

Custom Shapes

Layout Slides

Smaller issues (text style, placeholders)

Custom shapes

PPTX import

Preset shapes – important feature used in many presentations

Lots of imported documents broken

Custom shapes

Preset shape is predefined custom shape

Custom shape is “smart” path with handles

Custom shapes

Preset shapes in PPTX are different to those used in previous binary MS formats (vml)

We were missing implementation for new presets and trying to use the old ones – didn't work very well

Custom shapes import was also very incomplete

Original state (3.3.1)

Current state (master branch)

MSO

How presets are implemented

Generating the OOXML slide(s) from presets definitionpart of ISO standardnearly 200 preset shapes

Generated custom shape → loaded into Impress

Impress generates preset shape codearea to improve

Generated code included in oox/ sources

How presets are implemented

Fixed a lot of problems in custom shapes import code

elliptical arcs import and processing

missing predefined variables, constants

some path part types unknown and causing troubles in svx/

What remains

Few problematic shapes remaindebug and trace them to find the problematic areas

Problem with split paths

Problem with fills

Quadratic curves missing implementation

Bevel and shadow
