Appearance

Interface: GroupProps ​

Options for slide.addGroup().

The group keeps an identity child coordinate space (chOff/chExt == off/ext) at every depth: children — including nested groups — keep their slide-absolute x/y/w/h. A consequence worth knowing: a group's own frame never moves or scales its children, it only places the selection handle and the rotate pivot.

The frame is all-or-nothing. Pass all four of x/y/w/h to set it explicitly, or none to have it auto-computed as the bounding box of the children. A partial frame is ambiguous, so it warns and falls back to auto-bounds on every axis.

Properties ​

altText? ​

optional altText?: string

Alt Text value ("How would you describe this object and its contents to someone who is blind?")

  • serialized to the generated object's p:cNvPr descr attribute

Example ​

ts
'Quarterly revenue bar chart'

Inherited from ​

ObjectNameProps.altText

flipH? ​

optional flipH?: boolean

Flip the group horizontally

flipV? ​

optional flipV?: boolean

Flip the group vertically

h? ​

optional h?: Coord

Height

  • inches or percentage

Examples ​

ts
10.25 // height in inches
ts
'75%' // height as percentage of slide size

Inherited from ​

PositionProps.h

objectLock? ​

optional objectLock?: ObjectLockProps

Object lock flags (DrawingML a:spLocks / a:picLocks / a:graphicFrameLocks)

  • restrict how the object can be manipulated in PowerPoint (e.g. prevent moving, resizing, or grouping)
  • each flag maps 1:1 to the OOXML attribute of the same name; only flags set to true are emitted
  • PowerPoint UI: Selection Pane / right-click protections (most locks are honored at edit time, not as a password)
  • flags only apply to the object types that support them (see each flag); flags set on an unsupported object type are ignored with a console warning

Examples ​

ts
{ noMove: true, noResize: true } // pin an object in place
ts
{ noGrp: true } // exclude from grouping

Inherited from ​

ObjectNameProps.objectLock

objectName? ​

optional objectName?: string

Object name

  • used instead of the default name for the object's kind: Text 1, Shape 2, Image 1 and so on, numbered per kind (see docs/reference/object-names.md)
