OpenXML - PowerPoint - Picture Scale Height & Width

Question

I am trying to either find or calculate the Scale Height & Width values using the OpenXML SDK of a Picture in a PowerPoint Presentation PPTX file.

I have got the image as a

Picture = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.Picture

I have had a look in ShapeProperties and NonVisualPictureProperties but just cannot track down the values.

This is what I am trying to get programmatically when see inside PowerPoint

Would anyone be able to tell me where these values are hiding?

Thanks

Check DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Drawing -> ShapeProperties.Transform2D.Extents. (Extent documentation). This is an absolute size, not a percent, in the wonderful OpenXML EMU (1 in = 914400 EMUs, 1 cm = 360000 EMU). As far as I can tell this is how you set image scale (absolute, not percent).

Use the OpenXML SDK tool to reflect code for an example: New speadsheet, insert image, save. Then in the openxml sdk->reflect code, ctrl+f "Transform2D" should get you what you need. For example:

using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml;
using A = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Drawing;
using P14 = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Office2010.PowerPoint;
using P15 = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Office2013.PowerPoint;
using A14 = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Office2010.Drawing;
using Thm15 = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Office2013.Theme;
using Ap = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.ExtendedProperties;
using Vt = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.VariantTypes;
