Modern API Introduction

Aspose.Slides for Python via Java 24.4 introduces a future-proof API replacing legacy java.awt dependencies and providing a cleaner and more efficient approach to presentation processing. Some of the newly added API members are:

• IImage class represents the raster or vector image.
• ImageFormat class represents the file format of the image.
• Images - static class having methods to instantiate IImage.

ZIP64 Format Support

Developers can leverage the new PptxOptions.Zip64Mode property to save presentations in the ZIP64 format for larger files. Please check out the following Python code example to learn about the property usage:

pres = Presentation("demo.pptx");

pptxOptions = PptxOptions();
pptxOptions.setZip64Mode(Zip64Mode.Always);
pres.save("demo-zip64.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx, pptxOptions);

pres.dispose();
