• Thickness of the connecting lines of the chart being thinner (SLIDESNET-44233).
• The glow effect is barely visible in the thumbnail for the smaller glowRadius (SLIDESNET-44353).

Converting Math Equations to LaTeX in Python

With the addition of the IMathParagraph.to_latex() method, it is easier for developers to convert the math equations to LaTeX format on Windows x32. The following Python coding sample illustrates how it is done:

import aspose.slides as slides
import aspose.slides.mathtext as math

with slides.Presentation() as pres:
    slide = pres.slides[0]
    shape = slide.shapes.add_math_shape(50, 50, 200, 200)
    math_paragraph = shape.text_frame.paragraphs[0].portions[0].math_paragraph
    math_paragraph.add(math.MathematicalText("a").join("+").join(math.MathematicalText("b").join("=").join(math.MathematicalText("c"))))
    math_latex = math_paragraph.to_latex()
    print(math_latex)

Convert PowerPoint to HTML5 with Comments

Developers can utilize the Html5Options.notes_comments_layouting parameter of HTML5 export options to export PowerPoint presentations with comments:

import aspose.slides as slides

with slides.Presentation("test.pptx") as pres:
    notes_comments_layouting = slides.export.NotesCommentsLayoutingOptions()
    notes_comments_layouting.notes_position = slides.export.NotesPositions.BOTTOM_TRUNCATED
    html5_options = slides.export.Html5Options()
    html5_options.output_path = "test_pptx"
    html5_options.notes_comments_layouting = notes_comments_layouting
    pres.save("index.html", slides.export.SaveFormat.HTML5, html5_options)
