Every PPT API program must create an mlreportgen.ppt.Presentation object to
hold presentation content. To create a presentation object, use the
mlreportgen.ppt.Presentation constructor.
If you use the constructor without arguments, the PPT API creates a presentation named
Untitled.pptx in the current folder. The presentation uses the
default PPT API PowerPoint® template.
You can specify the file system path of the presentation as the first argument of the constructor.
For the second argument of the constructor, you can specify
a PowerPoint template to use. This Presentation constructor
creates a presentation called myPresentation in
the current folder, using a PowerPoint template called CompanyTemplate.pptx.
pres = Presentation('myPresentation','CompanyTemplate.pptx');
If the template you use is an existing presentation that includes
content, the new presentation that the PPT API generates includes
the content in that presentation. You can replace content from the
template using the PPT API. To replace some of the content in an existing
presentation but leave the rest, use the presentation as the template
for the Presentation object you create.
When you create a complete presentation using the PPT API, use an empty presentation that has no slides or only a few slides.
