In Impress, each page has its own slide transition that can be composed by the properties of the service com.sun.star.presentation.DrawPage.

Setting the following properties enables slide transition:

Properties of com.sun.star.presentation.DrawPage
Change	long - Specifies how the page change is triggered. If this is 0, the user must click to start each object animation and to change the page. If set to 1, the page is automatically switched. If it is set to 2, all object effects run automatically, but the user has to click on the page to change it.
Duration	long - If the property Change is set to 1, this property is the time in seconds the page is shown, before switching to the next page.
Effect	com.sun.star.presentation.FadeEffect. This is the effect that is used to fade in the page.
Speed	com.sun.star.presentation.AnimationSpeed. Defines the speed of the fade-in effect of the page. Possible values are: SLOW sets the speed from the animation or fade to slow. MEDIUM sets the speed from the animation or fade to medium. FAST sets the speed from the animation or fade to fast.
Layout	short - This number specifies a presentation layout for this page, if this property is not ZERO.

The next table contains all available com.sun.star.presentation.FadeEffect enum values:

NONE	RANDOM	DISSOLVE
FADE_FROM_LEFT FADE_FROM_RIGHT FADE_FROM_TOP FADE_FROM_BOTTOM FADE_FROM_UPPERLEFT FADE_FROM_UPPERRIGHT FADE_FROM_LOWERLEFT FADE_FROM_LOWERRIGHT	MOVE_FROM_LEFT MOVE_FROM_RIGHT MOVE_FROM_TOP MOVE_FROM_BOTTOM MOVE_FROM_UPPERLEFT MOVE_FROM_UPPERRIGHT MOVE_FROM_LOWERRIGHT MOVE_FROM_LOWERLEFT	UNCOVER_TO_LEFT UNCOVER_TO_RIGHT UNCOVER_TO_TOP UNCOVER_TO_BOTTOM UNCOVER_TO_UPPERLEFT UNCOVER_TO_UPPERRIGHT UNCOVER_TO_LOWERRIGHT UNCOVER_TO_LOWERLEFT
FADE_TO_CENTER FADE_FROM_CENTER	VERTICAL_STRIPES HORIZONTAL_STRIPES	CLOCKWISE COUNTERCLOCKWISE
ROLL_FROM_LEFT ROLL_FROM_RIGHT ROLL_FROM_TOP ROLL_FROM_BOTTOM	CLOSE_VERTICAL CLOSE_HORIZONTAL OPEN_VERTICAL OPEN_HORIZONTAL	SPIRALIN_LEFT SPIRALIN_RIGHT SPIRALOUT_LEFT SPIRALOUT_RIGHT
WAVYLINE_FROM_LEFT WAVYLINE_FROM_RIGHT WAVYLINE_FROM_TOP WAVYLINE_FROM_BOTTOM	STRETCH_FROM_LEFT STRETCH_FROM_RIGHT STRETCH_FROM_TOP STRETCH_FROM_BOTTOM	VERTICAL_LINES HORIZONTAL_LINES
VERTICAL_CHECKERBOARD HORIZONTAL_CHECKERBOARD

The following Java example shows how to set slide transition effects that are applied to the first page.

  // set the slide transition effect of the first page
  XDrawPagesSupplier xDrawPagesSupplier =(XDrawPagesSupplier)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
      XDrawPagesSupplier.class, xComponent);
  XDrawPages xDrawPages = xDrawPagesSupplier.getDrawPages();
  XDrawPage xDrawPage = (XdrawPage)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XDrawPage.class, 
      xDrawPages.getByIndex(0));
  xShapes = (XShapes)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XShapes.class, xDrawPage);
  XPropertySet xPropSet = (XPropertySet)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, xDrawPage);
  // set the slide transition effect properties
  xPropSet.setPropertyValue("Effect", com.sun.star.presentation.FadeEffect.RANDOM);
  xPropSet.setPropertyValue("Speed", com.sun.star.presentation.AnimationSpeed.MEDIUM);
  /* Change specifies how the page change is triggered. If this
     is 0, the user must click to start each object animation
     and to change the page. If set to 1, the page is
     automatically switched. If it is set to 2, all object
     effects run automatically, but the user has to click on the 
     page to change it.
   */
  xPropSet.setPropertyValue("Change", new Integer(1));
  /* If the property DrawPage::Change is set to 1, Duration specifies the
     time in seconds the page is shown before switching to the next page.
   */
  xPropSet.setPropertyValue("Duration", new Integer(5));
