Border and Fill don't work for RichTextShapes. about phppresentation

[timwhitlock]

+1 for this.
I've been trying to fill text shapes and wondering what I was doing wrong.

[JewrassicPark]

I just got this to work with text shapes because I figured it would be way less resource intensive then allocating php images to make solid shapes.

I had to open up powerpoints i made with fills and compare the xml to what phppowerpoint outputted. You can get it to work by adding

"$this->writeFill($objWriter, $shape->getFill());"

after the a:prstGeom element is added

so in the writeShapeText function of the Slide class in the Powerpoint2007 writer folder change the block that starts with // a:prstGeom

to this

    // a:prstGeom
    $objWriter->startElement('a:prstGeom');
    $objWriter->writeAttribute('prst', 'rect');
    $objWriter->endElement();
    $this->writeFill($objWriter, $shape->getFill());

Also make sure your fill is a 6 length color (so for black use 000000 and not FF000000 when setting the RGB)

why this don't work ? richtextShape extends abstractShape, it should be able to have fill ?

rotation don't work too in .odp

@jarredholman or @timwhitlock Have you got a sample source code for testing ? And a PPTX with the final render ?
May be have you got tested the "patch" of @JewrassicPark : is it ok for you ?

[timwhitlock]

I've not tried the patch. The project I was working on has been delivered without fill support.

@jarredholman @timwhitlock @JewrassicPark : Hi all, I fix this issue in the develop branch. Could you test it ? I added a sample (Sample_09_Fill.php) for test. Thanks you for advance.

Hi Progi,

Thx for reply and fix in the develop branch, i've test the new Sample_09_Fill and all seems ok with Fill in RichTextShape

However, i would like to add Border on a RichTextShape, i've try to debug the xml content of my file.ppt but it's not easy.

Here is my code for Borders on RichTextShape:

$shape->getBorder()->setLineStyle(Border::LINE_SINGLE)->setDashStyle(Border::DASH_SOLID)->setColor($colorBlack);

var_dump($shape->getBorder());

On my debug (var_dump), my object shape with borders seems good, however, i dont have any borders on my file.ppt

Any ideas ? Borders are working on Text or RichTextShape ?

Thx for advice

[Gyzmoo]

OK i've tested your Sample_10_Border and my own test on my template, borders works on RichText now, thank you!
