Converting Python to MATLAB Problems.

Hello, I have a problem with converting python script to MATLAB.

I used Python and python-pptx which helps to modify the powerpoint contents.

My purpose is to change the table setting in page6.

Here is my code in Python.

prs = py.pptx.Presentation(fileName); 
slide = prs.slides[5]; % page6 -> index '5'

table = slide.shapes[4].table;    % slide.shapes[4] will be modified. This is a table.
for i in range(4):                % That table has 4 rows, and 17 columns.
  for j in range(17):
    table.cell(i, j).margin_left = 0
    table.cell(i, j).margin_right = 0
    table.cell(i, j).margin_top = 0
    table.cell(i, j).margin_bottom = 0
prs.save('test.pptx')

I know that MATLAB not accept the '[]'(square bracket). So, I tried

prs.slides{py.list({5})};

instead of this line.

slide = prs.slides[5];

But, It doesn't work.

This code well works on Python.

How can I do? Please help.

Thanks in advance. please T_T

Hi,

It is true that indexing in MATLAB and Python are different. Python indexing can't be used in MATLAB.

As an alternative, you have to use objects and functions of that library.

Here is an example MATLAB code:

prs = py.pptx.Presentation(fileName);
slide = prs.slides.get(5);
table = slide.shapes.parent;
