Package: python-pptx-fix
python-pptx-fixis a Python library for creating and updating PowerPoint (.pptx)
files.This projectpython-pptx-fixis
created to fix bugs and add minor features to the original project
byScanny. Original project is
unresponsive at the moment so had to create this project aspython-pptx-fix.
Feel free to contribute to this project.A typical use would be generating a customized PowerPoint presentation from
database content, downloadable by clicking a link in a web application.
Several developers have used it to automate production of presentation-ready
engineering status reports based on information held in their work management
system. It could also be used for making bulk updates to a library of
presentations or simply to automate the production of a slide or two that
would be tedious to get right by hand.More information is available in thepython-pptx documentation.Browseexamples with screenshotsto get a quick idea what you can do with

embedded as a shape on a slide. The OLE object is represented as an icon.0.6.18 (2019-05-02).text property getters encode line-break as a vertical-tab (VT, ‘v’, ASCII 11/x0B).
This is consistent with PowerPoint’s copy/paste behavior and allows like-breaks (soft
carriage-return) to be distinguished from paragraph boundary. Previously, a line-break
was encoded as a newline (’n’) and was not distinguishable from a paragraph boundary..text properties include Shape.text, _Cell.text, TextFrame.text, _Paragraph.text and
_Run.text..text property setters accept vertical-tab character and place a line-break element in
that location. All other control characters other than horizontal-tab (’t’) and
newline (’n’) in range x00-x1F are accepted and escaped with plain-text like
“_x001B” for ESC (ASCII 27).Previously a control character other than tab or newline in an assigned string would
trigger an exception related to invalid XML character.0.6.17 (2018-12-16)Add SlideLayouts.remove() - Delete unused slide-layoutAdd SlideLayout.used_by_slides - Get slides based on this slide-layoutAdd SlideLayouts.index() - Get index of slide-layout in masterAdd SlideLayouts.get_by_name() - Get slide-layout by its str name0.6.16 (2018-11-09)Feature #395 DataLabels.show_* properties, e.g. .show_percentageFeature #453 Chart data tolerates None for labels0.6.15 (2018-09-24)Fix #436 ValueAxis._cross_xAx fails on c:dateAxis0.6.14 (2018-09-24)Add _Cell.merge()Add _Cell.split()Add _Cell.__eq__()Add _Cell.is_merge_originAdd _Cell.is_spannedAdd _Cell.span_heightAdd _Cell.span_widthAdd _Cell.text getterAdd Table.iter_cells()Move pptx.shapes.table module to pptx.tableAdd user documentation ‘Working with tables’0.6.13 (2018-09-10)Add Chart.fontFix #293 Can’t hide title of single-series ChartFix shape.width value is not type EmuFix add a:defRPr with c:rich (fixes some font inheritance breakage)0.6.12 (2018-08-11)Add Picture.auto_shape_typeRemove Python 2.6 testing from buildUpdate dependencies to avoid vulnerable Pillow versionFix #260, #301, #382, #401Add _Paragraph.add_line_break()Add Connector.line0.6.11 (2018-07-25)Add gradient fill.Add experimental “turbo-add” option for producing large shape-count slides.0.6.10 (2018-06-11)Addshape.shadowproperty to autoshape, connector, picture, and group

existing chart.add support for date axes on category charts, including writing a dateAx
element for the category axis when ChartData categories are date or
datetime.BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITIES:Some changes were made to the boilerplate XML used to create new charts. This
was done to more closely adhere to the settings PowerPoint uses when creating
a chart using the UI. This may result in some appearance changes in charts
after upgrading. In particular:Chart.has_legend now defaults to True for Line charts.Plot.vary_by_categories now defaults to False for Line charts.0.6.1 (2016-10-09)add Connector shape type0.6.0 (2016-08-18)add XY chart typesadd Bubble chart typesadd Radar chart typesadd Area chart typesadd Doughnut chart typesadd Series.points and Pointadd Point.data_labeladd DataLabel.text_frameadd DataLabel.positionadd Axis.major_gridlinesadd ChartFormat with .fill and .lineadd Axis.format (fill and line formatting)add ValueAxis.crosses and .crosses_atadd Point.format (fill and line formatting)add Slide.slide_idadd Slides.get() (by slide id)add Font.language_idsupport blank (None) data points in created chartsadd Series.markeradd Point.markeradd Marker.format, .style, and .size0.5.8 (2015-11-27)add Shape.click_action (hyperlink on shape)fix: #128 Chart cat and ser names not escapedfix: #153 shapes.title raises on no title shapefix: #170 remove seek(0) from Image.from_file()0.5.7 (2015-01-17)add PicturePlaceholder with .insert_picture() methodadd TablePlaceholder with .insert_table() methodadd ChartPlaceholder with .insert_chart() methodadd Picture.image property, returning Image objectadd Picture.crop_left, .crop_top, .crop_right, and .crop_bottomadd Shape.placeholder_format and PlaceholderFormat objectBACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITIES:Shape.shape_type is now unconditionallyMSO_SHAPE_TYPE.PLACEHOLDERfor all

Rather it is a graphical object
contained in a GraphicFrame shape, as are Chart and SmartArt objects.Example:table = shapes.add_table(...)

# becomes

graphic_frame = shapes.add_table(...)
table = graphic_frame.table

# or

table = shapes.add_table(...).tableAs the enclosing shape, the id, name, shape type, position, and size are
attributes of the enclosing GraphicFrame object.The contents of a GraphicFrame shape can be identified using three available
properties on a shape: has_table, has_chart, and has_smart_art. The enclosed
graphical object is obtained using the properties GraphicFrame.table and
GraphicFrame.chart. SmartArt is not yet supported. Accessing one of these
properties on a GraphicFrame not containing the corresponding object raises
an exception.0.4.2 (2014-04-29)fix: issue #88 – raises on supported image file having uppercase extensionfix: issue #89 – raises on add_slide() where non-contiguous existing ids0.4.1 (2014-04-29)Rename Presentation.slidemasters to Presentation.slide_masters.
