Copy Attributes

Flip

Simply flip the position of two shapes.

Adjoin

Position shapes side by side or align them to the center of the leftmost or topmost element. Adds more flexibility to the native alignment commands.

Align to Inner/Outer Edges

Alignment commands to arrange shapes relative to the last selected element. Also adds more flexibility to the native alignment commands.

Precision Snap

Commands to round various shape attributes to the closest decimal. A width of 1.23 inches becomes 1.2 inches. Select the elements to apply transformation to or select the slide to apply transformation to all elements.

Color commands

Transparency

Easily set transparency to selected shapes while preserving original colors.

Swap text with background

Swap foreground color of text on all shapes (text boxes) selected or on the slide with each shape's fill color.

Invert background colors

Invert fill color of all shapes (text boxes) selected or on the slide.

Max text contrast

Contributing

Read the instructions to get started.

You must install and authorize clasp.

To authorize, do:

clasp login

This will create a new .clasprc.json file on your home dir. You must also edit the src/.clasp.json.release and src/.clasp.json.test to make sure they point to Google Slides files you own on your Google Drive. They can be blank files.

Finally, run the src/deploy.sh script to get the code deployed to Google Drive:

./deploy.sh test
./deploy.sh release
./deploy.sh clean

Tests

There is limited test coverage on the src/tests.js file that uses GasT. To run the tests, open the file on the Script Editor, run the gastTestRunner function and check the log.
