Examples

The following example shows how to add Mathematical Equation in PowerPoint Presentation.

[C#]
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
   IAutoShape mathShape = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddMathShape(0, 0, 720, 150);
   var mathParagraph = (mathShape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].Portions[0] as MathPortion).MathParagraph;
   var fraction = new MathematicalText("x").Divide("y");
   mathParagraph.Add(new MathBlock(fraction));
   var mathBlock = new MathematicalText("c")
        .SetSuperscript("2")
        .Join("=")
        .Join(new MathematicalText("a").SetSuperscript("2"))
        .Join("+")
        .Join(new MathematicalText("b").SetSuperscript("2"));
    mathParagraph.Add(mathBlock);
    pres.Save("math.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}
