Table column flow direction, specified as a character vector or string scalar. Specify one of these values:

  • 'LeftToRight' — Orders columns from left to right

  • 'RightToLeft' — Orders columns from right to left

ID for this PPT API object, specified as a character vector or string scalar. A session-unique ID is generated as part of object creation. You can specify an ID to replace the generated ID.

Tag for this PPT API object, specified as a character vector or string scalar. A session-unique tag is generated as part of the creation of this object. The generated tag has the form CLASS:ID, where CLASS is the object class and ID is the value of the Id property of the object.

Specifying your own tag value can help you to identify where an issue occurred during presentation generation.

To specify the order of table columns, add an mlreportgen.ppt.FlowDirection format object to the Style property of an mlreportgen.ppt.Table object. This example specifies a right-to-left column order.

Create a presentation.

import mlreportgen.ppt.*
ppt = Presentation("myFlowDirection.pptx");
open(ppt);

Add a slide to the presentation.

slide = add(ppt,"Title and Content");

Create a table and specify the column flow direction.

t = Table({'entry(1,1)', 'entry(1,2)'; 'entry(2,1)', 'entry(2,2)'});
t.Style = [t.Style {FlowDirection("RightToLeft")}];

Add the table to the slide.

replace(slide,"Content",t);

Close and view the presentation.

close(ppt);
rptview(ppt);

In the generated table, the second column appears first.
