# Tomaz

New online slideshow presentation

- VCL / Drawinglayer slide rendering
  - integrated paragraph layer rendering into the slide rendering
    - check which object and paragraph is animated
    - there can be non-animated paragraphs - which means they need to be rendered with the object
    - also depends when the object is rendered
    - animations also define the order and where the paragraphs order can be mixed

  - fixed to make the CI and tests pass
  - fixed the paragraph hash duplication issue
    - traversing paragraphs probably creates the UNO objects for the paragraph - which makes paragraph different on each iteration
    - solution - just use XShape pointer as hash + append the paragraph number (but this assumes the presentation can’t be changed when a slideshow is running)

- Integrating paragraph layers into the new slideshow (animation engine)
  - currently doesn’t work - need to figure out why
