Syncfusion® Essential® DocIO is a .NET PowerPoint Library used to create, read, edit, and convert PowerPoint presentations programmatically without Microsoft PowerPoint or interop dependencies. Using this library, you can add animations for text boxes, shapes, and images in presentations using C#.

Steps to add animations for text boxes, shapes, and images in presentations in C#

1. Create a new C# console application project.

2. Install Syncfusion.PresentationRenderer.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.

3. Include the following namespace in the Program.cs file:
   C#

using Syncfusion.Presentation;

4. Use the following code to add animations for text boxes, shapes, and images in presentations in C#:
   C#

using Syncfusion.Presentation;

// Create an instance for PowerPoint.
IPresentation pptxDoc = Presentation.Create();
// Add a blank slide to the Presentation.
ISlide slide = pptxDoc.Slides.Add(SlideLayoutType.Blank);

IShape textboxShape = slide.AddTextBox(200, 50, 150, 50);
IParagraph paragraph = textboxShape.TextBody.AddParagraph();
// Add a TextPart to the paragraph.
ITextPart textPart = paragraph.AddTextPart();
// Add text to the TextPart.
textPart.Text = "Hello World!";
// Access the animation sequence to create effects.
ISequence sequence = slide.Timeline.MainSequence;
// Add bounce effect to the shape.
IEffect bounceEffect = sequence.AddEffect(textboxShape, EffectType.Bounce, EffectSubtype.None, EffectTriggerType.WithPrevious);

IShape textboxShape1 = slide.AddTextBox(200, 150, 150, 50);
// Add a paragraph to the text body of the textbox.
IParagraph paragraph1 = textboxShape1.TextBody.AddParagraph();
// Add a TextPart to the paragraph.
ITextPart textPart1 = paragraph1.AddTextPart();
// Add text to the TextPart.
textPart1.Text = "New Textbox Added";
// Access the animation sequence to create effects.
ISequence sequence1 = slide.Timeline.MainSequence;
// Add swivel effect to the shape.
IEffect bounceEffect1 = sequence1.AddEffect(textboxShape1, EffectType.Swivel, EffectSubtype.None, EffectTriggerType.WithPrevious);


FileStream pictureStream = new FileStream(@"..\..\..\Data\Image.jpeg", FileMode.Open);
// Add the picture to a slide by specifying its size and position.
IPicture picture = slide.Pictures.AddPicture(pictureStream, 200, 250, 300, 200);
// Access the animation sequence to create effects.
ISequence sequence2 = slide.Timeline.MainSequence;
// Add bounce effect to the picture.
IEffect bounceEffect2 = sequence2.AddEffect(picture as IShape, EffectType.Bounce, EffectSubtype.None, EffectTriggerType.WithPrevious);

// Save the PowerPoint Presentation as a stream.
FileStream outputStream = new FileStream(@"..\..\..\Data\Sample.pptx", FileMode.Create);
pptxDoc.Save(outputStream);
