}
Merge and Generate
ppt-template merge-generate style.json content.json
ppt-template merge-generate style.json content.json --merged merged.json
python examples/merge_style_content.py style.json content.json merged.json
ppt-template generate merged.json
Basic Usage (Python API)
from powerpoint_templates import BusinessDSLBuilder, BusinessTheme, EnhancedVisualGenerator
presentation = (BusinessDSLBuilder()
.set_metadata(

.add_thank_you_slide()
.build())
generator = EnhancedVisualGenerator()
output_file = generator.create_presentation_from_dsl(presentation, "my_presentation.pptx")
print(f"Created: {output_file}")
Using Pre-built Templates
from powerpoint_templates import BusinessTemplateExamples, EnhancedVisualGenerator
qbr = BusinessTemplateExamples.create_quarterly_business_review()
generator = EnhancedVisualGenerator()
generator.create_presentation_from_dsl(qbr, "quarterly_review.pptx")
Advanced Usage with Custom Components
from powerpoint_templates import (
ComponentLayout, HeaderComponent, ContentComponent, FooterComponent,
ComponentBounds, ComponentStyle
)
layout = ComponentLayout()
header = HeaderComponent(
bounds=ComponentBounds(0, 0, 13.33, 1.2),
style=ComponentStyle(font_size=24, font_bold=True)
)
layout.add_component(header)
layout.add_component(ContentComponent())
layout.add_component(FooterComponent())
layout.export_layout("custom_layout.json")
