python-pptx is library used to create/edit a PowerPoint (.pptx) files. This won’t work on MS office 2003 and previous versions. We can add shapes, paragraphs, texts and slides and much more thing using this library.
Installation: Open the command prompt on your system and write given below command:
pip install python-pptx
Let’s see some of its usage:
Example 1: Creating new PowerPoint file with title and subtitle slide.
# import Presentation class # from pptx library from pptx import Presentation
# Creating presentation object root = Presentation()
# Creating slide layout first_slide_layout = root.slide_layouts[ 0 ]
""" Ref for slide types: 0 -> title and subtitle 1 -> title and content 2 -> section header 3 -> two content 4 -> Comparison 5 -> Title only 6 -> Blank 7 -> Content with caption 8 -> Pic with caption """ # Creating slide object to add # in ppt i.e. Attaching slides # with Presentation i.e. ppt slide = root.slides.add_slide(first_slide_layout)
# Adding title and subtitle in # slide i.e. first page of slide slide.shapes.title.text = " Created By python-pptx"
# We have different formats of # subtitles in ppts, for simple # subtitle this method should # implemented, you can change # 0 to 1 for different design slide.placeholders[ 1 ].text = " This is 2nd way"
# Saving file root.save( "Output.pptx" )
print ( "done" )

Example 2: Adding Text-Box in PowerPoint.
# import required things from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches, Pt
# Creating Object ppt = Presentation()
# To create blank slide layout # We have to use 6 as an argument # of slide_layouts blank_slide_layout = ppt.slide_layouts[ 6 ]
# Attaching slide obj to slide slide = ppt.slides.add_slide(blank_slide_layout)
# For adjusting the Margins in inches left = top = width = height = Inches( 1 )
# creating textBox txBox = slide.shapes.add_textbox(left, top,
width, height)
# creating textFrames tf = txBox.text_frame
tf.text = "This is text inside a textbox"
# adding Paragraphs p = tf.add_paragraph()
# adding text p.text = "This is a second paragraph that's bold and italic" # font p.font.bold = True
p.font.italic = True
p = tf.add_paragraph()
p.text = "This is a third paragraph that's big " p.font.size = Pt( 40 )
# save file ppt.save( 'test_2.pptx' )
print ( "done" )

Output:
Example 3: PowerPoint (.pptx) file to Text (.txt) file conversion.
# import Presentation class # from pptx library from pptx import Presentation
# creating an object ppt = Presentation( "sample.pptx" )
# open file in write mode File_to_write_data = open ( "File_To_Extract_ppt.txt" , "w" )
# write text from powerpoint # file into .txt file for slide in ppt.slides:
for shape in slide.shapes:
if not shape.has_text_frame:
continue for paragraph in shape.text_frame.paragraphs:
for run in paragraph.runs:
File_to_write_data.write(run.text)
# close the file File_to_write_data.close() print ( "Done" )

Output:
Example 4: Inserting image into the PowerPoint file.
from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches
# Giving Image path img_path = 'bg_bg.png' # Creating an Presentation object ppt = Presentation()
# Selecting blank slide blank_slide_layout = ppt.slide_layouts[ 6 ]
# Attaching slide to ppt slide = ppt.slides.add_slide(blank_slide_layout)
# For margins left = top = Inches( 1 )
# adding images pic = slide.shapes.add_picture(img_path,
left, top)
left = Inches( 1 )
height = Inches( 1 )
pic = slide.shapes.add_picture(img_path, left,
top, height = height)
# save file ppt.save( 'test_4.pptx' )
print ( "Done" )

Output:
Example 5: Adding Charts to the PowerPoint file.
# import required classes/functions/method from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.chart.data import CategoryChartData
from pptx.enum.chart import XL_CHART_TYPE
from pptx.util import Inches
# Create presentation object ppt = Presentation()
# Adding slide with specific layout slide = ppt.slides.add_slide(ppt.slide_layouts[ 6 ])
# Define chart data # Creating object of chart chart_data = CategoryChartData()
# Adding categories to chart chart_data.categories = [ 'East' , 'West' , 'Midwest' ]
# Adding series chart_data.add_series( 'Series 1' ,
( int ( input ( "Enter Value:" )),
int ( input ( "Enter Value:" )),
int ( input ( "Enter Value:" ))))
x, y, cx, cy = Inches( 2 ), Inches( 2 ), Inches( 6 ), Inches( 4.5 )
slide.shapes.add_chart( XL_CHART_TYPE.COLUMN_CLUSTERED, x, y, cx, cy, chart_data )
# Saving file ppt.save( 'chart-Tutorial.pptx' )
print ( "done" )

Output:
Example 6: Adding tables to the PowerPoint file.
# importing from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches
# create a Presentation object ppt = Presentation()
# Adding a blank slide in out ppt slide = ppt.slides.add_slide(ppt.slide_layouts[ 6 ])
# Adjusting the width ! x, y, cx, cy = Inches( 2 ), Inches( 2 ), Inches( 4 ), Inches( 1.5 )
# Adding tables shape = slide.shapes.add_table( 3 , 4 , x,
y, cx, cy)
# Saving the file ppt.save( "Tabel_Tutorial.pptx" )
print ( "done" )
