Presentation Cookbook

Creating Presentation

Supposing you followed the text and spreadsheet cookbooks, we go straightforward:

>>> document = odf_new_document_from_type('presentation')
>>> body = document.get_body()

A presentation is composed of draw pages. A new document doesn't contain any draw page.

Change the default graphic fill color

>>> standard = document.get_style('graphic', u"standard")
>>> standard.set_style_properties({'draw:fill-color': '#ffffff'})

Adding New Page

>>> page = odf_create_draw_page('page1', name=u"Page 1")
>>> body.append_element(page)

Text Frame

Set Frame Color

>>> colored = odf_create_style('graphic', name=u"colored",
        display_name=u"Colored", parent="standard")
>>> colored.set_style_properties({'draw:fill-color': "#ad7fa8"},
        area='graphic')
>>> colored.set_style_properties(color="#ffffff", area='text')
>>> document.insert_style(colored)

Paragraph Style with Big Font

>>> big = odf_create_style('paragraph', u"big", area='paragraph',
        align="center")
>>> big.set_style_properties(area='text', size="32pt")
>>> document.insert_style(big, automatic=True)

Set Text Frame

With multilpe lines:

>>> text_frame = odf_create_text_frame([u"lpOD", u"Presentation",
        u"Cookbook"], size=('7cm', '5cm'), position=('11cm', '8cm'),
        style=u"colored", text_style=u"big")
>>> page.append_element(text_frame)

Set Transition

>>> page.set_transition("fade", "fadeOverColor")

Image Frame

Start a new page:

>>> page2 = odf_create_draw_page(u"page2")
>>> body.append_element(page2)

Embed an image from a file name:

>>> local_uri = document.add_file(u'images/zoé.jpg')

Add image frame:

>>> image_frame = odf_create_image_frame(local_uri, size=('60mm', '45mm'),
        position=('4.5cm', '7cm'))
>>> page2.append_element(image_frame)

Some text side by side:

>>> list = odf_create_list([u"Item 1", u"Item 2", u"Item 3"])
>>> text_frame = odf_create_text_frame(list, size=('7cm', '2.5cm'),
        position=('12.5cm', '7cm'), style=u"colored")
>>> page2.append_element(text_frame)

Shapes

Add a last page:

>>> page3 = odf_create_draw_page(u"page3")
>>> body.append_element(page3)

Square

>>> square = odf_create_rectangle(shape_id=u"square", size=('8cm', '8cm'),
        position=('17cm', '2.5cm'), style=u"colored")
>>> page3.append_element(square)

Circle

>>> circle = odf_create_ellipse(shape_id=u"circle", size=('8cm', '8cm'),
        position=('2cm', '10cm'), style=u"colored")
>>> page3.append_element(circle)

Line

>>> line = odf_create_line(p1=('8cm', '5cm'), p2=('20cm', '17.5cm'))
>>> page3.append_element(line)

Connector

>>> connector = odf_create_connector(connected_shapes=(square, circle),
        glue_points=('1', '3'))

Saving Document

>>> document.save('presentation.odp')
