I’d like to create a PowerPoint (not Javascript/HTML/PDF/Keynote/.mov) using code (any language, C preferred) for free.
(I’ve seen this SO question which references how to create them in C#)
Is this even possible? How can I write the raw bits that make up a PowerPoint file? Any good libraries for doing this?
UPDATE The Microsoft Reference Page for the binary format is here.
Open Office has an API. You can use the C++ bindings (doc available here). If you really need
C, you’ll have to do some wrapping.. but hey, it’s Christmas, isn’t it 😉Open Office has export functions to create
.pptcompatible files.
