Introduction

There is something like pasting one image on each PowerPoint slide to make a work procedure manual. It's a transcendental simple task, but it takes a long time. It's a simple repetitive task, so I'd like to automate it using the code that was rolling on the net.

Goal implementation function

At least the features you definitely want to implement

Automatically create PowerPoint materials with one image attached to each slide.

I wish for

Add cover
Add text box
Insert slides without pasting images

Slides you want to create automatically

I would like to create a character introduction slide for a certain anime that I like. The composition is Cover → Image → Character description → Image → Character description →… (Hereafter, the image and character description are alternated) It is said. The slides automatically created using the code created this time will be introduced at the end.

environment

python3.7.2 Windows10

code

`ppt.py`


import pptx
from pptx.util import Inches
from pptx import Presentation
from glob import glob

ppt = Presentation()
width = ppt.slide_width
height = ppt.slide_height

#Types of slides to use
title_slide_layout = ppt.slide_layouts[0] #Creating a Title Slide
bullet_slide_layout = ppt.slide_layouts[1] #Creating Title and Content
blank_slide_layout = ppt.slide_layouts[6] #Creating a blank

#Title Slide
slide = ppt.slides.add_slide(title_slide_layout)
title = slide.shapes.title
subtitle = slide.placeholders[1]

title.text = "○○ Description"
subtitle.text = "kokoro pyonpyon"

#Preparing to paste the image on Blank
fnms = glob('figures/*.JPG')

tx_left = tx_top = tx_width = tx_height = Inches(1)

i = 1

for fnm in fnms:
    #Put the image on Blank
    slide_picture = ppt.slides.add_slide(blank_slide_layout)
    pic = slide_picture.shapes.add_picture(fnm, width/4,height/2, width/2, height/2)

    #Then insert a text box in the empty space
    txBox = slide_picture.shapes.add_textbox(tx_left, tx_top, tx_width*15, tx_height)
    tB = txBox.text_frame
    tB.text = "Name: "

    #Creating Title and Content
    slide_description = ppt.slides.add_slide(bullet_slide_layout)
    shapes = slide_description.shapes

    title_shape = shapes.title
    body_shape = shapes.placeholders[1]

    #Write title and text in Title and Content
    title_shape.text = 'Character description ' + str(i)
    tf = body_shape.text_frame
    tf.text = 'She works at '

    i += 1

ppt.save('figure.pptx')

Commentary

Library to import

pptx

_ A Python library that creates and updates PowerPoint files (.pptx). Typical uses include creating a customized PowerPoint document from a database or making it available for download by clicking a link on a web application. It is also possible to automatically create an engineering status report in a reportable format that summarizes information on the business management system. Sometimes I update my presentation library all at once, or automatically create one or two slides that I'm tired of working on. _

(Part of this material is translated literally.)

Well, it's enough if you know this easily. Perhaps. The brief meaning of each command is commented in the code.

Slides made using this code

Enter the details manually for each slide. Most of it is created automatically, so it should be a lot of labor saving.

bonus

How to install the library.

$ pip install numpy

Like. Somehow I made it numpy.
