const presentation = Api.GetPresentation();
const slide = presentation.GetSlideByIndex(0);
const fill1 = Api.CreateSolidFill(Api.RGB(255, 111, 61));
const stroke1 = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
const drawing1 = Api.CreateShape("rect", 3212465, 963295, fill1, stroke1);
slide.AddObject(drawing1);
drawing1.SetPosition(0, 0);
const fill2 = Api.CreateSolidFill(Api.RGB(51, 133, 255));
const stroke2 = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
