> is the problem the same as in bug 91668?

I don't think that. Line properties and image properties are handled separately.
Comment 4 Tamás Zolnai 2017-08-14 23:26:38 UTC
Let's turn it into a easy hack. The code is here:
oox/source/export/drawingml.cxx
Check DrawingML::WriteOutline(...) method
Comment 5 Ekansh Jha 2017-12-06 15:36:25 UTC
I looked into the code and was unfortunate to find anything related to transpaency in this function. It will be very helpful if I can get a little help in this matter.
Comment 6 Tamás Zolnai 2017-12-08 01:30:09 UTC
Some more code pointers:
PPTX export code uses UNO API to get properties from the document modell. Line API properties are defined here:
offapi/com/sun/star/drawing/LineProperties.idl
These properties are get by GetProperty() calls. This GetProperty() method sets the property to the mAny variable from which you can convert the actual value to the right type (see other parts of the drawingml.cxx file how it works). So with this GetProperty() you can get the actualy line trasparency for the current object.
About how to export the transparency value you should check WriteSolidFill() method which is called from WriteOutline() method. It has an nAlpha paramter which is a kind of transparency value.
