Detailed documentation

`alignOnPage(alignmentPosition)`

Aligns the element to the specified alignment position on the page.

Parameters

`getAs(contentType)`

Return the data inside this object as a blob converted to the specified content type. This method adds the appropriate extension to the filename—for example, "myfile.pdf". However, it assumes that the part of the filename that follows the last period (if any) is an existing extension that should be replaced. Consequently, "ShoppingList.12.25.2014" becomes "ShoppingList.12.25.pdf".

To view the daily quotas for conversions, see Quotas for Google Services. Newly created Google Workspace domains might be temporarily subject to stricter quotas.

Parameters

`select()`

Selects only the PageElement in the active presentation and removes any previous selection. This is the same as calling select(replace) with true.

A script can only access the selection of the user who is running the script, and only if the script is bound to the presentation.

This sets the parent Page of the PageElement as the current page selection.

const slide = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides()[0];
const pageElement = slide.getPageElements()[0];
// Only select this page element and replace any previous selection.
pageElement.select();

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/presentations.currentonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/presentations

`select(replace)`

Selects the PageElement in the active presentation.

A script can only access the selection of the user who is running the script, and only if the script is bound to the presentation.

Pass true to this method to select only the PageElement and remove any previous selection. This also sets the parent Page of the PageElement as the current page selection.

Pass false to select multiple PageElement objects. The PageElement objects must be in the same Page.

The following conditions must be met while selecting a page element using a false parameter:

The parent Page of the PageElement object must be the current page selection.
There should not be multiple Page objects selected.

To make sure that’s the case the preferred approach is to select the parent Page first using Page.selectAsCurrentPage() and then select the page elements in that page.

const slide = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides()[0];
// First select the slide page, as the current page selection.
slide.selectAsCurrentPage();
// Then select all the page elements in the selected slide page.
const pageElements = slide.getPageElements();
for (let i = 0; i < pageElements.length; i++) {
  pageElements[i].select(false);
}

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`replace`	`Boolean`	If `true`, the selection replaces any previous selection; otherwise the selection is added to any previous selection.
