Method details

align(alignType)

Aligns the shape relative to the slide. Ignored for shapes that cannot be moved. Group children also move relative to the slide, not within the group (same as the editor). If a child moves outside its group, the group grows to contain it.

align(alignType: AlignType): Promise<void>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
alignTypeAlignTypeAlignment type

Returns

Promise<void>

flip(direction)

Flips the shape vertically or horizontally. This toggles the current flip state; read whether it is currently flipped with isFlippedH()/isFlippedV(). Ignored for shapes that cannot be rotated. For a rotated shape the angle is mirrored as well (getRotation() becomes 360 - previous angle).

flip(direction: FlipDirection): Promise<void>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
directionFlipDirectionFlip direction

Returns

Promise<void>

getAdjustValues()

Returns the adjust values defined on a regular shape and their adjustable ranges. The returned name is used by the adjust-value read and update APIs.

getAdjustValues(): Promise<AdjustValue[] | null>;

Returns

Promise<AdjustValue[] | null> - List of adjust values. null if the target shape is gone (e.g. deleted during collaboration)

getAlignH(range)

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
range (optional)TextRangeText span to read (default: the whole text)

Returns

Promise<TextAlignH | null> - Horizontal alignment. null if there is no text/paragraph

getAlignV()

Returns the vertical text alignment. (counterpart of setAlignV) TextAlignV is a numeric enum where TOP is 0, so check for a value with a null comparison, not a truthiness test.

getAlignV(): Promise<TextAlignV | null>;

Returns

Promise<TextAlignV | null> - Vertical alignment. null if there is no target text

getBold(range)

Returns whether the representative run is bold. (counterpart of setBold - the effective value including inheritance)

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
range (optional)TextRangeText span to read (default: the whole text)

Returns

Promise<boolean | null> - Bold state. null if there is no target text or the span is invalid

getBulletStyle(range)

Returns the bullet style of the representative paragraph. The returned fields can be spread into setBulletStyle(type, subType, startAt). Values are the effective ones including layout/master inheritance; absent values (start number) and values that cannot be passed back (number types outside the presets) are left out. Picture bullets and characters outside the presets are read-only and cannot be applied as is. (see setBulletStyle for the constraints)

getBulletStyle(range?: TextRange): Promise<BulletStyle | null>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
range (optional)TextRangeText span to read (default: the whole text)

Returns

Promise<BulletStyle | null> - Bullet style. null if there is no text/paragraph

getEffects()

Returns the effects applied to the shape. Only applied effects are included as keys. Each value has the same shape as the argument of the matching setter (setOuterShadow/setInnerShadow/setGlow/setSoftEdge/setReflection/set3d). alpha of shadows and glow is always included even when opaque (0); lengths (pt) and ratios (%) are rounded to one decimal place. If the document carries both outerShadow and innerShadow, both are included (the setters can set only one).

Values are rounded to the editor's input units - size to one decimal place, position to integers. The setters use the same units, so shapes placed more finely (e.g. imported documents) move by that amount when the value is passed back.

setLevel(level, range)

Sets the list level (outline depth). Every paragraph the range touches gets the same level. Unlike the pt-based indents (setFirstLineIndent/setMarginLeft), the level selects an inherited preset, so changing it brings that level's bullet and font size along and overwrites marginLeft with the new level's value. A value set with setMarginLeft is discarded too, so call setLevel first when using both. (firstLineIndent is kept) Clamped to the range the target text allows (title objects have level 1 only).
