Presentation Slide

A presentation slide is a slide that inherits slide properties from the corresponding slide master and layout information from the corresponding slide layout. Each presentation slide has the ability to override any of this information that it chooses by specifying local attribute values within the presentation slide. Much like the master slide, the presentation slide contains some common structural elements, namely the following.

  • Common Slide Data - Common properties and layout information for this presentation slide. Properties listed here that conflict with existing elements specified in the slide master will override those specified in the slide master.

  • Color Map Override - Color Mapping that will override the inherited color mapping for this presentation slide.

  • Timing Information - Common timing properties used for animation, controls, etc.

  • Transition Information - Slide transitioning information for this presentation slide.

The above list defines the areas that can be used to override inherited components from the master slide and the layout slide. That is, these can be specifically defined on a per-slide basis via the above elements.
