Use the PPT API to create MATLAB programs to add content to PowerPoint presentations and to create complete PowerPoint presentations. You can create a program that works with the slide master and layouts in a PowerPoint presentation. To get started, see Create a Presentation Generator.
To share your completed presentation program with others who do not have MATLAB installed on their systems, see Compile a Presentation Program.

Create a Presentation Generator
Create a MATLAB program to generate a PowerPoint presentation.
The PPT API consists of a hierarchical set of data structures, known as objects, that represent a presentation and its contents.
All PPT class names and constructor names have the prefix
mlreportgen.ppt.
Get and Set PPT Object Properties
Most PPT objects have properties that describe the object.
Create a Presentation Object to Hold Content
Every PPT API program must create an mlreportgen.ppt.Presentation object to hold presentation content.
To generate a PowerPoint presentation from your PPT API program, use the API to close the presentation.
Display Presentation Generation Messages
The PPT API can display messages when you generate a PowerPoint presentation.
Compile a Presentation Program
Enable sharing of PPT API programs with users who do not have MATLAB installed.
