# Slide

```gistui
root = Slides(Slide(Header("One idea per slide", "Keep text short", size:lg), layout:center, bg:accent))
```

A `Slide` is only valid inside `Slides`.

## Signature

This is the line a model reads in the system prompt.

```gistui
Slide(...children, layout:center|top|split, bg:plain|inverse|accent|gradient, image:str)
```

- **Group:** Layout
- **Children:** Yes: any component or text
- **Positional arguments:** none

## Props

| Prop | Type | How to write it | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `layout` | `center` · `top` · `split` | named: `layout:…` |  |
| `bg` | `plain` · `inverse` · `accent` · `gradient` | named: `bg:…` |  |
| `image` | string (URL) | named: `image:…` | background photo URL |

## Use your own component

Keep the name and schema, swap what is drawn. The prompt and the model's output do not change.
