Add a SmartArt Graphic to a Slide

Introduction

This article shows you how to add a SmartArt graphic to a PowerPoint presentation using Aspose.Slides Cloud in your applications. The code examples in this article use CreateShape method described in Add a Shape to a Slide method.

Example

Add a SmartArt gear shape that displays a business process consisting of three elements (Sales, Analysis, Development) to the first slide in MyFolder/MyPresentation.pptx document saved in the default storage. The shape should be placed at coordinates (20, 20) with a size of 200x200.
