The mlreportgen.ppt.AutoFit class is a handle class.

Creation

Description

autoFitObj = AutoFit() scales text in a content placeholder or text box. Specify the scaling percentage by setting the FontScale property.

example

autoFitObj = AutoFit(tf) scales the text if tf is true. Specify the scaling percentage by setting the FontScale property.

autoFitObj = AutoFit(tf,fontScale) scales the text if tf is true. The text is scaled by the percentage specified by fontScale. See the FontScale property.

Properties

Whether to scale text to fit a placeholder or text box, specified as one of these values:

  • true — Scales text (default)

  • false — Does not scale text

Text font scaling value, specified as a string scalar or character vector. This property specifies the percentage by which the text font size is scaled. The text is scaled one time using the specified percentage. If the text still does not fit the placeholder or text box, reduce the FontScale value until the text fits.

ID for this PPT API object, specified as a character vector or string scalar. A session-unique ID is generated as part of object creation. You can specify an ID to replace the generated ID.

Tag for this PPT API object, specified as a character vector or string scalar. A session-unique tag is generated as part of the creation of this object. The generated tag has the form CLASS:ID, where CLASS is the object class and ID is the value of the Id property of the object.

Specifying your own tag value can help you to identify where an issue occurred during presentation generation.

Examples

To fit text in a content placeholder, create an mlreportgen.ppt.AutoFit format object with the Value property set to true and add the object to the Style property of an mlreportgen.ppt.ContentPlaceholder object. This example adds one slide where the text is not scaled and one slide where the text is scaled.

Create a presentation.

import mlreportgen.ppt.*
ppt = Presentation("myAutoFitPresentation.pptx");
open(ppt);

Add the first slide to the presentation. The content placeholder in this slide does not scale the text to fit.

slide1 = add(ppt,"Title and Content");
contentPlaceholder = find(slide1,"Content");
replace(contentPlaceholder,Paragraph(char(randi(25,1,1000)+97)));
contentPlaceholder.Style = [contentPlaceholder.Style {AutoFit(false)}];

Add the second slide to the presentation. The content placeholder in this slide scales the text to fit.

slide2 = add(ppt,"Title and Content");
contentPlaceholder = find(slide2,"Content");
replace(contentPlaceholder(1),Paragraph(char(randi(25,1,1000)+97)));
contentPlaceholder.Style = [contentPlaceholder.Style {AutoFit(true)}];

Close and view the presentation.

close(ppt);
rptview(ppt);
