renderthis (version 0.2.0)

to_pptx: Render slides as a PowerPoint file.

Description

Render slides as a .pptx file. The function renders to the PDF and then converts it into PNG images that are inserted on each slide in the PowerPoint file.

Usage

to_pptx(
  from,
  to = NULL,
  density = 100,
  slides = "all",
  complex_slides = FALSE,
  partial_slides = FALSE,
  delay = 1,
  keep_intermediates = FALSE
)

Value

Slides are rendered as a pptx file.

Arguments

from

Path to an .Rmd, .qmd, .html, .pdf file, or a URL. If from is a URL to slides on a website, you must provide the full URL ending in ".html".

to

Name of the output .pptx file.

density

Resolution of the resulting PNGs in each slide file. Defaults to 100.

slides

A numeric or integer vector of the slide number(s) to include in the pptx, or one of "all", "first", or "last". Negative integers select which slides not to include. Defaults to "all", in which case all slides are included.

complex_slides

For "complex" slides (e.g. slides with panelsets or other html widgets or advanced features), set complex_slides = TRUE. Defaults to FALSE. This will use the chromote package to iterate through the slides at a pace set by the delay argument. Requires a local installation of Chrome.

partial_slides

Should partial (continuation) slides be included in the output? If FALSE, the default, only the complete slide is included in the PDF.

delay

Seconds of delay between advancing to and printing a new slide. Only used if complex_slides = TRUE or partial_slides = TRUE.

keep_intermediates

Should we keep the intermediate files used to render the final output? The default is FALSE.

Examples

with_example("slides.Rmd", requires_chrome = TRUE, requires_packages = "officer", {
    # Render pptx from Rmd, html, pdf, or direct URL
    to_pptx("slides.Rmd")
})
