Create a PPT using python and python-pptx

Create a PPT using python and python-pptx

In this blog post, we will explore how to use the python library 'Python-pptx' to create a simple PowerPoint presentation (PPT). This library allows us to programmatically create slideshows, add text, images, tables, and custom shapes.

Install 'python-pptx'

First, make sure you have the python-pptx library installed. If it is not already installed, you can install it with the following command:

//bash
pip install python-pptx

Create a PPT document

Creating a new powerpoint document is simple:

from pptx import Presentation
prs = Presentation()

Add title slide

We can add a slide with a title and subtitle:

slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[0])
title = slide.shapes.title
subtitle = slide.placeholders[1]
title.text = "Hello, World!"
subtitle.text = "python-pptx was here!"

Add a slide with bullet points

Next, we add a slide with bullet points:

slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[1])
title_shape = slide.shapes.title
body_shape = slide.placeholders[1]
title_shape.text = 'Adding a Bullet Slide'
tf = body_shape.text_frame
tf.text = 'Find the bullet slide layout'
p = tf.add_paragraph()
p.text = 'Use _TextFrame.text for first bullet'
p.level = 1
p = tf.add_paragraph()
p.text = 'Use _TextFrame.add_paragraph() for subsequent bullets'
p.level = 2

Add text box

We can also add a text box with multiple paragraphs:

slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[6])
txBox = slide.shapes.add_textbox(Inches(1), Inches(1), Inches(5), Inches(1))
tf = txBox.text_frame
tf.text = "This is text inside a textbox"
p = tf.add_paragraph()
p.text = "This is a second paragraph that's bold"
p.font.bold = True
p = tf.add_paragraph()
p.text = "This is a third paragraph that's big"
p.font.size = Pt(40)

Add picture

Adding a picture to a slide is also simple:

img_path = '1.png'
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[6])
slide.shapes.add_picture(img_path, Inches(1), Inches(1))
slide.shapes.add_picture(img_path, Inches(5), Inches(1), height=Inches(5.5))

Add a custom shape

We can add custom shapes to represent a process or step:

slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[5])
shapes = slide.shapes
shapes.title.text = 'Adding an AutoShape'
left = Inches(0.93)
top = Inches(3.0)
width = Inches(1.75)
height = Inches(1.0)
shape = shapes.add_shape(MSO_SHAPE.PENTAGON, left, top, width, height)
shape.text = 'Step 1'
left += width - Inches(0.4)
width = Inches(2.0)
for n in range(2, 6):
    shape = shapes.add_shape(MSO_SHAPE.CHEVRON, left, top, width, height)
    shape.text = f'Step {n}'
    left += width - Inches(0.4)

Add table

Finally, we add a table:

slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[5]) shapes = slide.shapes shapes.title.text = 'Adding a Table' table = add_table(2, 2, Inches(2.0), Inches(2.0), Inches(6.0), Inches(0.8)).table table.columns[0].width = Inches(2.0) table.columns[1].width = Inches(4.0) table.cell(0, 0).text = 'Foo' table.cell(0, 1).text = 'Bar' table.cell(1, 0).text = 'Baz' table.cell(1, 1).text = 'Qux'

Save PPT document

After all the edits are done, we save the document as test.pptx:

prs.save('test.pptx')

Effect preview

With the above steps, we can quickly create a PPT document with a title, bullet points, text boxes, pictures, custom shapes, and tables. The python-pptx library provides a wealth of features to meet most of our presentation production needs.
