ppt-rs-0.1.3 has been yanked.

ppt-rs

A Rust library for creating, reading, and updating PowerPoint (.pptx) files.

This is a Rust port of the python-pptx library, providing a safe and efficient way to work with PowerPoint files in Rust.

Features

✅ Create new PowerPoint presentations
✅ Read existing .pptx files
✅ Modify slides, shapes, text, images, and charts
✅ Full support for OpenXML format (ISO/IEC 29500)
✅ Comprehensive shape support (AutoShape, Picture, Connector, GraphicFrame, GroupShape)
✅ 100+ AutoShape types (rectangles, arrows, flowchart shapes, callouts, action buttons, etc.)
✅ Chart support with axes (CategoryAxis, ValueAxis, DateAxis)
✅ 100+ Chart types (Area, Bar, Column, Line, Pie, Scatter, Bubble, Radar, Stock, Surface, Cone, Cylinder, Pyramid, 3D variants)
✅ Table support with formatting options
✅ DrawingML support (colors, fills, lines)
✅ Hyperlink support for shapes and text
✅ Shape XML parsing and generation for reading/writing shapes
✅ 13+ Line dash styles (Solid, Dash, Dot, LongDash, SystemDash, etc.)

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ppt-rs = "0.1.0"

Quick Start

use ppt_rs::new_presentation;

// Create a new presentation
let mut prs = new_presentation()?;

// Get slides collection
let mut slides = prs.slides();

// Add a slide
let layout_part = ppt_rs::parts::slide::SlideLayoutPart::new(
    ppt_rs::opc::packuri::PackURI::new("/ppt/slideLayouts/slideLayout1.xml")?
)?;
let slide = slides.add_slide(&layout_part)?;

// Add a shape with hyperlink
use ppt_rs::shapes::{AutoShape, AutoShapeType, Hyperlink};
let mut shape = AutoShape::new(1, "Link".to_string(), AutoShapeType::Rectangle);
let hlink = Hyperlink::with_address("https://example.com".to_string());
shape.set_hyperlink(Some(hlink));
slide.add_shape(Box::new(shape))?;

// Save the presentation
prs.save_to_file("output.pptx")?;

Status

🚧 Work in Progress - This library is currently under active development.

Current Status:

✅ Core OPC (Open Packaging Convention) support
✅ Parts module (all major parts implemented)
✅ Shapes module (AutoShape, Picture, Connector, GraphicFrame, GroupShape)
✅ 100+ AutoShape types (basic shapes, arrows, flowchart shapes, callouts, action buttons)
✅ Hyperlink support for shapes (AutoShape, Picture)
✅ Shape XML parsing and generation
✅ Text module (TextFrame, Paragraph, Font)
✅ Table module
✅ Chart module (with axes support)
✅ 100+ Chart types (Area, Bar, Column, Line, Pie, Scatter, Bubble, Radar, Stock, Surface, Cone, Cylinder, Pyramid, 3D variants)
✅ DML (DrawingML) module
✅ 13+ Line dash styles
⚠️ XML serialization (in progress)
⚠️ Advanced features (placeholders, effects)

Test Coverage: 143 tests passing ✅

Examples

Creating a Presentation

use ppt_rs::new_presentation;

let mut prs = new_presentation()?;
// ... add slides, shapes, etc.
prs.save_to_file("presentation.pptx")?;

Working with Shapes

use ppt_rs::shapes::{AutoShape, AutoShapeType};

let mut shape = AutoShape::new(1, "Rectangle".to_string(), AutoShapeType::Rectangle);
shape.set_width(914400); // 1 inch in EMU
shape.set_height(914400);

Working with Hyperlinks

use ppt_rs::shapes::{AutoShape, AutoShapeType, Hyperlink};

let mut shape = AutoShape::new(1, "Link".to_string(), AutoShapeType::Rectangle);
let mut hlink = Hyperlink::with_address("https://example.com".to_string());
hlink.set_screen_tip(Some("Example Site".to_string()));
shape.set_hyperlink(Some(hlink));

Working with Charts

use ppt_rs::chart::{Chart, ChartType};
use ppt_rs::chart::axis::{CategoryAxis, ValueAxis};

let mut chart = Chart::new(ChartType::ColumnClustered);
chart.set_has_title(true);
chart.title_mut().unwrap().set_text("Sales Data");

let cat_axis = chart.category_axis_mut();
cat_axis.set_has_title(true);

let val_axis = chart.value_axis_mut();
val_axis.set_minimum_scale(Some(0.0));
val_axis.set_maximum_scale(Some(100.0));

Parsing Shapes from XML

use ppt_rs::shapes::xml::parse_shapes_from_xml;

let xml = r#"<p:spTree>
    <p:sp>
        <p:nvSpPr>
            <p:cNvPr id="2" name="Rectangle 1"/>
        </p:nvSpPr>
        <p:spPr>
            <a:xfrm>
                <a:off x="1000000" y="2000000"/>
                <a:ext cx="3000000" cy="4000000"/>
            </a:xfrm>
        </p:spPr>
    </p:sp>
</p:spTree>"#;

let shapes = parse_shapes_from_xml(xml)?;
