How to Use It
Show several related visuals together. Use consistent captions and ordering to make the relationship between them clear.
Preview + source
Explore this layout
Compare a small curated set of visuals, with a purpose for showing them together.
All people, quotations and business figures in these examples are illustrative.
This prepared preview and the OPF describe the same example. Region outlines show measured allocation; toggling them does not change the slide.
Inspect compact default-catalog references. Your host must register the matching catalog; source identifies it without fetching over the network. Copy always includes complete embedded records.

Regions, in reading order
This layout is one list of 2 regions, declared once. The list runs as a column; a split nests a list that runs the other way. Each size is a share of its parent’s width (row) or height (column).
Schematic of the list: each box is drawn in proportion to its size; an auto entry gets a fixed band. Dashed boxes are heading regions.
Column, stacked, top to bottom. No anchor is written on the layout: body regions start at the top unless they set their own.

How automatic composition differs
Try dynamic composition
Explore how a text slide reflows as you change its content and shape. These examples use OPF’s shared composition rules; the copied document includes your choices.
All sample text fits within its content boxes.

Visuals
Image
Let one picture carry the message. A photo close to the frame's shape fills it with a light crop (at most 7.5% off each edge); any other picture, a diagram or an SVG is shown whole at its own proportions (fit auto). Add a short title or caption to explain what the audience should notice. For a full-bleed crop of any picture, set the image block's fit to cover; to never crop, contain.
