getMasterNames

Get the slide master names so that you can find the layout names to use when you add slides to a presentation.

Import the PPT namespace so that you do not have to use long, fully qualified names for the PPT API classes.

import mlreportgen.ppt.*

Create a presentation.

ppt = Presentation("myPresentation");
open(ppt);

Get the names of the master slides in the presentation. The default PPT API template has only one slide master.

mNames = getMasterNames(ppt);
mNames{1}

ans = 
'Office Theme'

Get the names of the layouts in the slide master.

layouts = getLayoutNames(ppt,mNames{1})

layouts = 1×13 cell
    {'Title Slide'}    {'Title and Vertical Text'}    {'Vertical Title and Text'}    {'Title and Table'}    {'Title and Picture'}    {'Title and Content'}    {'Section Header'}    {'Two Content'}    {'Comparison'}    {'Title Only'}    {'Blank'}    {'Content with Caption'}    {'Picture with Caption'}

Add a title slide to the presentation, using the Title Slide layout, and replace the title in the slide.

slide = add(ppt,"Title Slide");
replace(slide, "Title","My Title");

Close and view the presentation.

close(ppt);
rptview(ppt);
