The |Slides| object is accessed using the :attr:`~pptx.presentation.Presentation.slides` property of |Presentation|. It is not intended to be constructed directly.

.. autoclass:: pptx.slide.Slides()
   :members:
   :member-order: bysource
   :undoc-members:

An individual |Slide| object is accessed by index from |Slides| or as the return value of :meth:`add_slide`.

.. autoclass:: pptx.slide.Slide()
   :members:
   :exclude-members: part
   :inherited-members:
   :undoc-members:

The |SlideLayouts| object is accessed using the :attr:`~pptx.slide.SlideMaster.slide_layouts` property of |SlideMaster|, typically:

>>> from pptx import Presentation
>>> prs = Presentation()
>>> slide_layouts = prs.slide_master.slide_layouts

As a convenience, since most presentations have only a single slide master, the |SlideLayouts| collection for the first master may be accessed directly from the |Presentation| object:

>>> slide_layouts = prs.slide_layouts

This class is not intended to be constructed directly.

.. autoclass:: pptx.slide.SlideLayouts()
   :members:
   :exclude-members: element, parent
   :inherited-members:
   :undoc-members:

.. autoclass:: pptx.slide.SlideLayout
   :members:
   :exclude-members: iter_cloneable_placeholders

The |SlideMasters| object is accessed using the :attr:`~pptx.presentation.slide_masters` property of |Presentation|, typically:

>>> from pptx import Presentation
>>> prs = Presentation()
>>> slide_masters = prs.slide_masters

As a convenience, since most presentations have only a single slide master, the first master may be accessed directly from the |Presentation| object without indexing the collection:

>>> slide_master = prs.slide_master

This class is not intended to be constructed directly.

.. autoclass:: pptx.slide.SlideMasters()
   :members:
   :exclude-members: element, parent
