Powerpoint from python code

Powerpoint from code

Using code for a powerpoint is a useful approach to have chatgpt and other LLMs create powerpoint slides from documents or a textual description.

Usage

pip install -r requirements.txt
python make_powerpoint.py
from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches
from pptx.enum.chart import XL_CHART_TYPE
# Create a presentation object
prs = Presentation()
# Add a title slide
slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[0] # 0 is the layout for the title slide
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(slide_layout)
title = slide.shapes.title
subtitle = slide.placeholders[1]
title.text = "Welcome to the Presentation"
subtitle.text = "This presentation contains text, a table, and a chart."
# Add a slide with a title and content
slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[1] # 1 is the layout for title and content
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(slide_layout)
title = slide.shapes.title
content = slide.placeholders[1]
title.text = "Agenda"
content.text = "1. Introduction\n2. Main Content\n3. Conclusion"
# Add a slide with a table
slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[5] # 5 is the layout for title and content
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(slide_layout)
title = slide.shapes.title
title.text = "Data Table"
# Define table dimensions
rows = 3
cols = 4
left = Inches(2)
top = Inches(2)
width = Inches(6)
height = Inches(1.5)
# Add table
table = slide.shapes.add_table(rows, cols, left, top, width, height).table
# Set column headings
table.columns[0].width = Inches(1.5)
table.columns[1].width = Inches(1.5)
table.columns[2].width = Inches(1.5)
table.columns[3].width = Inches(1.5)
table.cell(0, 0).text = 'Header 1'
table.cell(0, 1).text = 'Header 2'
table.cell(0, 2).text = 'Header 3'
table.cell(0, 3).text = 'Header 4'
# Add data to the table
table.cell(1, 0).text = 'Data 1'
table.cell(1, 1).text = 'Data 2'
table.cell(1, 2).text = 'Data 3'
table.cell(1, 3).text = 'Data 4'
table.cell(2, 0).text = 'Data 5'
table.cell(2, 1).text = 'Data 6'
table.cell(2, 2).text = 'Data 7'
table.cell(2, 3).text = 'Data 8'
