Create and Format Pictures
Create a Picture
This example shows how to create a picture for a presentation by using the mlreportgen.ppt.Picture constructor.
import mlreportgen.ppt.* ppt = Presentation("slides"); pictureSlide = add(ppt,"Blank");
Specify the path to a picture file.
plane = Picture("b747.jpg"); plane.Width = "5in"; plane.Height = "2in";
Add the slide to the presentation.
add(pictureSlide,plane); close(ppt);
Format a Picture
When you create a Picture object, you can specify the location,
width, and height. The specified formatting applies when you add a picture to a slide or
replace a Picture object. When you replace a
PicturePlaceholder object with a Picture
object, PowerPoint® adjusts the replacement picture to fit the location and dimensions of the
placeholder.
You can specify these format properties for a Picture
object.
Picture Object Formatting | Format Object | Format Property |
|---|---|---|
Upper-left x-coordinate of picture | n/a |
|
Upper-left y-coordinate of picture | n/a |
|
Picture width | n/a |
|
Picture height | n/a |
