Drawing

Register drawingModule() before opening a presentation to enable Pro drawing renderers. The module shares the editor’s geometry, text measurement, and layout pipeline.

Enable drawing

Pass the module when you create the editor:

import { createPptxEditor } from '@pptx-editor.dev/core/editor';
import { drawingModule } from '@pptx-editor.dev/pro/drawing';

export function createPresentation(bytes: Uint8Array) {
  return createPptxEditor({
    document: bytes,
    modules: [drawingModule()],
  });
}

Attach the returned editor to your container. Call editor.destroy() when your application releases it. For React and Vue examples, see Pro modules.

Install renderers without an editor

For headless layout, install drawing before opening the first document:

import { installDrawing } from '@pptx-editor.dev/pro/drawing';

installDrawing();

The installed renderers serve all editors and exports in the process. A late install does not repaint slides that were already painted until those slides repaint.

Effects and charts

The module adds glow, inner shadow, reflection, soft-edge, and blur rendering, and 3-D shapes: bevels, contours, extrusion, and camera rotation. Without it, those effects remain in the saved file but do not paint in the editor. The free engine paints outer and preset shadows. To set bevels and 3-D rotation, see Add 3-D effects.

For chart status, see ChartsPartial and Charts. Charts use values cached in their chart parts. The engine does not fetch external chart data. Chart rendering does not add chart data editing.

PDF export installs drawing automatically. PDF limitations appear in export diagnostics. A PDF can still require fidelityPolicy: 'best-effort' for approximate effects.
