PowerPoint Editor

A library to used to provide basic editing capabilities of PowerPoint presentation. It is primarily going to be used to give non-coders this ability via .net Interactive Notebooks. However, it could easily be used .net apps as well

Examples

Setup

var presentation = new PowerPointPresentation(pathToThePptx);

Text replacement

presentation.ForAllSlides()
            .ReplaceText("{{TEAM_NAME}}")
            .With("FooBar Unitied");

presentation.ForSlide(3)
            .ReplaceText("{{TEAM_NAME}}")
            .With("FooBar Unitied");

As you can see from the above, you can either specify to work with one single slide by its position in the deck with ForSlide(3) or all slides with ForAllSlides().

Inside the powerpoint you are using as a template, we are looking for the text {{TEAM_NAME}} and will replace it with FooBar United.

Working with images

presentation.ForSlide(2)
            .FindPictureWithAltText("TeamLogo")
            .ReplaceImageWith("C:\MyTeamLogo.jpg");

presentation.ForSlide(2)
            .FindPictureWithAltText("TeamLogo")
            .ReplaceAltTextWith($"FooBar United Team Logo");

Here we are looking in slide 2 for an image with the alternate text to TeamLogo. We then replace the image with a jpg from our local disk and change the alternate text to be FooBar United Team Logo.

Working with bar charts

presentation.ForSlide(3)
            .FindBarChart(1)
            .FindSeriesByName("Category A")
            .ReplaceValuesWith(new List<string> { "0.15", "0.3", "0.2", "0.2" });

presentation.ForSlide(3)
            .FindBarChart(1)
            .FindSeriesByName("Category B")
            .ReplaceValuesWith(new List<string> { "0.2", "0.4", "0.3", "0.32" });

presentation.ForSlide(3)
            .FindBarChart(1)
            .FindSeriesByName("Category C")
            .ReplaceValuesWith(new List<string> { "0.4", "0.8", "0.5", "0.48" });

We are editing the first bar chart on slide 3. It has 3 series and 4 values per series. We are adjusting the values of the chart to the percentages we have passed in.

Working with pie charts

presentation.ForSlide(4)
            .FindPieChart(2)
            .FindSeries()
            .ReplaceValuesWith(new List<string> { "0.2", "0.25", "0.1", "0.45" });

We are editing the second pie chart on slide 4. It has 4 values and we are adjusting them to the values we have passed in.
