How to Use It

Open a presentation with its subject and a short introduction. Add a picture when it helps establish the context.

Preview + source

Explore this layout

Open with one clear message and a supporting visual; keep detailed evidence for later.

All people, quotations and business figures in these examples are illustrative.

Cover: canonical rendered example
Inspect full-size SVG

This prepared preview and the OPF describe the same example. Region outlines show measured allocation; toggling them does not change the slide.

Copy complete OPF

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 row; 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.

Row, side by side, left to right. No anchor is written on the layout: body regions start at the top unless they set their own.

  1. 1title50%

    size 1: 50% of the width

    Heading region: holds the slide’s title, with its tag and subtitle. It takes a size and no content rules.

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.

Let the content find its spaceStart with the decision. State what the audience should understand or do.Show the evidence. Give each supporting idea enough space to be read.Make the next step clear. Keep the action specific and easy to remember.

All sample text fits within its content boxes.

Closing

End with the action the audience should take. Include contact details or a brief thank-you when useful.

Visuals

Gallery

Show several related visuals together. Use consistent captions and ordering to make the relationship between them clear.

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.

Openers And Closers

Agenda

Set expectations by listing the parts of a talk. Longer agendas flow across columns while preserving their order.

Openers And Closers

Agenda beside

Introduce a concise agenda with the title and introduction on one side and the parts of the talk beside them. Use Agenda for detailed entries that need the full slide width.

Logos

Present organizations, partners or customers as a group. Use a consistent visual scale and add context when the relationship is not obvious.
