Create PowerPoint Presentation using PHP

Create PowerPoint Presentation

To add a simple plain line to a selected slide of the presentation, please follow the steps below:

1. Create an instance of Presentation class.
2. Obtain the reference of a slide by using its Index.
3. Add an AutoShape of Line type using addAutoShape method exposed by Shapes object.
4. Write the modified presentation as a PPTX file.

In the example given below, we have added a line to the first slide of the presentation.

  # Instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
  $pres = new Presentation();
  try {
    # Get the first slide
    $slide = $pres->getSlides()->get_Item(0);
    # Add an autoshape of type line
    $slide->getShapes()->addAutoShape(ShapeType::Line, 50, 150, 300, 0);
    $pres->save("NewPresentation_out.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
  } finally {
    if (!java_is_null($pres)) {
      $pres->dispose();
    }
  }
