[Java] Create and apply a slide master

The PPT Master has powerful template features that allow users to design slide title text, background images, theme colors and more as needed. Once the PPT master design is successful, you can call this template directly and apply it to other slides to avoid repeated edits. This article will show you how to use code in your Java application to create a slide master style and apply it to other slides.

** Import JAR package ** ** Method 1: ** Download Free Spire.Presentation for Java, unzip it, and in the lib folder Import the Spire.Presentation.jar package into your Java application as a dependency. ** Method 2: ** Install the JAR package directly from the Maven repository and configure the pom.xml file as follows:

<repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>com.e-iceblue</id>
            <name>e-iceblue</name>
            <url>http://repo.e-iceblue.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
        </repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>e-iceblue</groupId>
        <artifactId>spire.presentation.free</artifactId>
        <version>2.6.1</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
