ShapeCollection

Overview

ShapeCollection is a class in Aspose.Slides FOSS for Python. Inherits from: BaseCollection, IShapeCollection.

Represents a collection of shapes.

This class declares 36 methods for ShapeCollection objects in Python programs. Available methods include: __contains__, __getitem__, __init__, __iter__, __len__, add_auto_shape, add_chart, add_connector, add_group_shape, add_picture_frame, add_table, clear, and 10 additional methods. Public members are accessible to any Python application after installing the Aspose.Slides FOSS for Python package. Properties: as_i_collection, as_i_enumerable, length, parent_group.

`__iter__()`	Iterate over shapes in the collection.
`to_array()` → `list[IShape]`	Convert the collection to an array.
`reorder()`	Reorder shapes in the collection.
`add_auto_shape()` → `IAutoShape`	Adds a new IAutoShape to the collection
`insert_auto_shape()` → `IAutoShape`	Inserts a new IAutoShape at a specific position
`add_connector()` → `IConnector`	Adds a new IConnector shape to the collection
`insert_connector()` → `IConnector`	Inserts a new IConnector at a given index
`add_group_shape()` → `IGroupShape`	Add a new GroupShape to the collection.
`index_of(shape: IShape)` → `int`	Return the zero-based index of the specified shape.
`add_picture_frame(shape_type, x, y, width, height, image)` → `IPictureFrame`	Adds an IPictureFrame with given type, position, size, and image
`insert_picture_frame(index, shape_type, x, y, width, height, image)` → `IPictureFrame`	Inserts an IPictureFrame at index with given parameters
`add_chart()`	Add a chart to the slide.
`insert_chart()`	Insert a chart at a specific index.
`add_table(x, y, column_widths, row_heights)` → `ITable`	Adds an ITable at position with column widths and row heights
`insert_table(index, x, y, column_widths, row_heights)` → `ITable`	Inserts an ITable at index with position and dimensions
`remove_at(index: int)`	Remove the shape at the specified index.
`remove(shape: IShape)`	Remove the specified shape from the collection.
`clear()`	Remove all shapes from the collection.
`__getitem__(index: int)` → `IShape`	Get the shape at the specified index.
`__contains__(item)` → `bool`	Calls contains(item) on this ShapeCollection instance.
`to_array(start_index, count)` → `list[IShape]`	Converts the collection to a list of IShape objects
`reorder(index, shape)`	Reorders the shapes within the collection
`add_auto_shape(shape_type, x, y, width, height)` → `IAutoShape`	Calls add_auto_shape(shape_type, x, y, width, height) on this ShapeCollection instance.
`add_auto_shape(shape_type, x, y, width, height, create_from_template)` → `IAutoShape`	Calls add_auto_shape(shape_type, x, y, width, height, create_from_template) on this ShapeCollection instance.
`insert_auto_shape(index, shape_type, x, y, width, height)` → `IAutoShape`	Calls insert_auto_shape(index, shape_type, x, y, width, height) on this ShapeCollection instance.
`insert_auto_shape(index, shape_type, x, y, width, height, create_from_template)` → `IAutoShape`	Calls insert_auto_shape(index, shape_type, x, y, width, height, create_from_template) on this ShapeCollection instance.
`add_connector(shape_type, x, y, width, height)` → `IConnector`	Calls add_connector(shape_type, x, y, width, height) on this ShapeCollection instance.
`add_connector(shape_type, x, y, width, height, create_from_template)` → `IConnector`	Calls add_connector(shape_type, x, y, width, height, create_from_template) on this ShapeCollection instance.
`insert_connector(index, shape_type, x, y, width, height)` → `IConnector`	Calls insert_connector(index, shape_type, x, y, width, height) on this ShapeCollection instance.
`insert_connector(index, shape_type, x, y, width, height, create_from_template)` → `IConnector`	Calls insert_connector(index, shape_type, x, y, width, height, create_from_template) on this ShapeCollection instance.
`add_group_shape(svg_image, x, y, width, height)` → `IGroupShape`	Adds a new IGroupShape (group) to the collection
`index_of(shape)` → `int`	Returns the zero‑based index of the specified IShape
