Create a PowerPoint Presentation in Python

This example creates a presentation, adds a shape with text to the first slide, and saves the result as both PPTX and PDF.

import aspose.slides as slides

with slides.Presentation() as presentation:
    slide = presentation.slides[0]
    shape = slide.shapes.add_auto_shape(slides.ShapeType.RECTANGLE, 50, 150, 600, 100)
    shape.text_frame.text = "Created with Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET"

    presentation.save("presentation.pptx", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPTX)
    presentation.save("presentation.pdf", slides.export.SaveFormat.PDF)

Running it writes presentation.pptx (about 34 KB) and presentation.pdf (about 36 KB) to the working directory.

Without a licence the library runs in evaluation mode, which adds a watermark and limits the number of slides. See Licensing to apply one.
