How can I send a TableBox() to PowerPoint with an associated title?Hi,
I can create a chart in the Graph Builder and then send a copy of that chart, together with its title, to PowerPoint within a JSL script by doing essentially this:
gb = Graph Builder( etc etc );
gbb = report(gb)[GraphBuilderBox(1)];
gbb << save presentation("MyFile.pptx")
This sends the title of the chart to the title bar of a PowerPoint slide, and puts the chart itself underneath it - which is exactly what I want. I can see from the tree structure of GraphBuilderBox(1) that the title itself is actually located in a TextEditBox within about five nested display boxes - so presumably when GraphBuilderBox(1) is sent to PowerPoint, the "<< save presentation()" property allows PowerPoint to recognise that it is supposed to be interpreted as the title of the slide.
I now want to do essentially the same thing with a TableBox (which obviously wasn't created within the Graph Builder), and an arbitrary title that I want to assign to that TableBox. What is the structure of display boxes that I need to assemble to make this work?
Many thanks for any suggestions
Re: How can I send a TableBox() to PowerPoint with an associated title?Ha! It's as simple as that - and I infer that I could replace that TableBox by any other structure I wanted to export, with the title of the slide being taken from the title of the OutlineBox. So in a nutshell, just put it in an OutlineBox and title it accordingly.
Many thanks again, Ian!
Re: How can I send a TableBox() to PowerPoint with an associated title?Something like:
Names Default To Here( 1 );
New Window( "Example",
ob = Outline Box( "Table",
Table Box(
String Col Box( "names", {"x", "y", "z"} ),
Number Col Box( "values", {11, 22, 33} ),
Plot Col Box( "values", {11, 22, 33} )
) ) );
ob << save presentation("$DESKTOP/MyFile.pptx");
