Usage

Creating a Presentation

First, create a new presentation.

final pres = Powerpoint();

Saving a Presentation

To save the presentation, call the save method.

final bytes = await pres.save();

You then can save the bytes to a file.

final file = File('my_presentation.pptx');
await file.writeAsBytes(bytes);

Blank Slide

pres.addBlankSlide();

Markdown

It is also possible to create a presentation using markdown.

await pres.addSlidesFromMarkdown('MARKDOWN SOURCE');

The markdown follows the same format for md2googleslides.

Slide Background

Solid Color

Colors need to be in HEX format and not include the leading #.

slide.background.color = 'FF0000';

Image

slide.background.image = ImageReference(
    path: './samples/images/sample_jpg.jpg',
    name: 'Sample Jpg',
);

Speaker Notes

slide.speakerNotes = 'Notes'.toTextValue();

Show Slide Numbers

slide.showSlideNumber = true;

Or for an entire presentation.

pres.showSlideNumbers = true;

Images

Images use the ImageReference class. The path can be the base64 encoded string, remote url, or local file path.

The name is used for the alt and can be overridden with a description.

When the presentation is saved all images will be downloaded and saved in the presentation.

Running on Flutter Web will cause a CORS error when using remote urls if the server does not have the correct headers. To get around this, you can use a proxy server.
