Table

Examples for adding tables, accessing them, removing them, and merging cells using Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET.

Add a Table

Create a simple table with two rows and two columns.

def add_table():
    with slides.Presentation() as presentation:
        slide = presentation.slides[0]

        # Define column widths and row heights.
        widths = [80, 80]
        heights = [30, 30]

        # Add a table shape to the slide.
        table = slide.shapes.add_table(50, 50, widths, heights)

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

Access a Table

Retrieve the first table shape on the slide.

def access_table():
    with slides.Presentation("table.pptx") as presentation:
        slide = presentation.slides[0]

        # Access the first table on the slide.
        first_table = next(shape for shape in slide.shapes if isinstance(shape, slides.Table))

Remove a Table

Delete a table from a slide.

def remove_table():
    with slides.Presentation("table.pptx") as presentation:
        slide = presentation.slides[0]

        # Assuming the first shape is a table.
        table = slide.shapes[0]

        # Remove the table from the slide.
        slide.shapes.remove(table)

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

Merge Table Cells

Merge adjacent cells of a table into a single cell.

def merge_table_cells():
    with slides.Presentation("table.pptx") as presentation:
        slide = presentation.slides[0]

        # Assuming the first shape is a table.
        table = slide.shapes[0]

        # Merge cells.
        table.merge_cells(table.rows[0][0], table.rows[1][1], False)

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