🎯 Quick Start

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The PowerPoint Template System includes a powerful CLI for generating presentations from JSON configurations:

# Generate from single JSON file
ppt-template generate examples/presentation_config.json

# Generate from separated style and content templates (single command)
ppt-template merge-generate style.json content.json

# Generate from separated templates with saved merged config
ppt-template merge-generate style.json content.json --merged merged.json

# List available presentations
ppt-template list examples/presentation_config.json

# Generate all presentations
ppt-template generate examples/presentation_config.json --all

# Create sample presentations
ppt-template samples

# Get AI agent guide
ppt-template ai-guide

2 JSON Template System

The system supports separated style and content templates for maximum flexibility:

Style Template (style.json)

{
  "presentation_style": {
    "id": "business_style",
    "theme": "corporate_blue",
    "slide_structure": [
      {
        "id": "title_slide",
        "type": "title",
        "style": {
          "background": "gradient",
          "gradient_colors": ["#1f4e79", "#2c5aa0"],
          "title_color": "#ffffff"
        }
      },
      {
        "id": "content_slide",
        "type": "card_grid",
        "style": {
          "card_style": {
            "rounded_corners": true,
            "shadow": true,
            "badge_style": {
              "colors": {"success": "#28a745", "warning": "#ffc107"}
            }
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Content Template (content.json)

{
  "presentation_content": {
    "id": "business_presentation",
    "title": "Company Overview",
    "author": "John Smith",
    "slides": [
      {
        "id": "title_slide",
        "content": {
          "title": "Company Overview",
          "subtitle": "Q4 2024"
        }
      },
      {
        "id": "content_slide",
        "content": {
          "title": "Key Achievements",
          "cards": [
            {
              "title": "Revenue Growth",
              "description": "40% YoY increase",
              "badge": {"text": "SUCCESS", "color": "#28a745"}
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Merge and Generate

# Single command (recommended)
ppt-template merge-generate style.json content.json

# With saved merged configuration
ppt-template merge-generate style.json content.json --merged merged.json

# Manual two-step process
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

# Create a presentation using the DSL builder
presentation = (BusinessDSLBuilder()
    .set_metadata(
        title="My Business Presentation",
        author="John Smith",
        company="Acme Corp"
    )
    .set_theme(BusinessTheme.CORPORATE_BLUE)
    .add_title_slide()
    .add_content_slide(
        "overview",
        "Company Overview",
        "bullet_list",
        {"items": ["Founded in 2020", "50+ employees", "Global presence"]}
    )
    .add_thank_you_slide()
    .build())

# Generate the PowerPoint file
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

# Create a quarterly business review
qbr = BusinessTemplateExamples.create_quarterly_business_review()

# Generate the presentation
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
)

# Create custom layout
layout = ComponentLayout()

# Add custom header
header = HeaderComponent(
    bounds=ComponentBounds(0, 0, 13.33, 1.2),
    style=ComponentStyle(font_size=24, font_bold=True)
)
layout.add_component(header)

# Add content and footer components
layout.add_component(ContentComponent())
layout.add_component(FooterComponent())

# Export layout configuration
layout.export_layout("custom_layout.json")

Separated Templates Workflow

1. Style Template: Defines visual design, colors, fonts, layouts
2. Content Template: Contains text, images, data, structure
3. Merge Script: Combines style and content into complete configuration
4. CLI Generation: Creates PowerPoint presentations from merged config
5. Reusability: Style templates can be reused with different content
