Step 3: Get the First Slide

Retrieve the first slide from the presentation to work with.

ISlide sld = pres.Slides[0];

System.Drawing.Image img = (System.Drawing.Image)new Bitmap(dataDir + "aspose-logo.jpg");
IPPImage imgx = pres.Images.AddImage(img);

Step 5: Add Picture Frame

Utilize the AddPictureFrame method to add a picture frame to the slide. Specify the dimensions and position of the frame.

sld.Shapes.AddPictureFrame(ShapeType.Rectangle, 50, 150, imgx.Width, imgx.Height, imgx);
