PHPPresentation is a library written in pure PHP that provides a set of classes to write to different presentation file formats, i.e. Microsoft [Office Open XML](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML) (OOXML or OpenXML) or OASIS [Open Document Format for Office Applications](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument) (OpenDocument or ODF).

PHPPresentation is an open source project licensed under the terms of [LGPL version 3](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPPresentation/blob/develop/COPYING.LESSER). PHPPresentation is aimed to be a high quality software product by incorporating [continuous integration](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPPresentation/actions/workflows/php.yml) and [unit testing](https://coveralls.io/github/PHPOffice/PHPPresentation). You can learn more about PHPPresentation by reading the [Developers' Documentation](https://phpoffice.github.io/PHPPresentation) and the [API Documentation](https://phpoffice.github.io/PHPPresentation/docs/).

### Installation

#### Composer method

It is recommended that you install the PHPPresentation library [through composer](http://getcomposer.org/). To do so, add
the following lines to your ``composer.json``.

```json
{
    "require": {
       "phpoffice/phppresentation": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

#### Manual download method

Alternatively, you can download the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPPresentation/releases).
In this case, you will have to register the autoloader.
(Register autoloading is required only if you do not use composer in your project.)

```php
require_once 'path/to/PhpPresentation/src/PhpPresentation/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Autoloader::register();
```

You will also need to download the latest PHPOffice/Common release from its [releases page](https://github.com/PHPOffice/Common/releases).
And you will also have to register its autoloader, too.

```php
require_once 'path/to/PhpOffice/Common/src/Common/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\Common\Autoloader::register();
```

## Getting started

The following is a basic usage example of the PHPPresentation library.

```php
// with your own install
require_once 'src/PhpPresentation/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Autoloader::register();
require_once 'src/Common/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\Common\Autoloader::register();

// with Composer
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\PhpPresentation;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\IOFactory;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Style\Color;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Style\Alignment;

$objPHPPowerPoint = new PhpPresentation();

// Create slide
$currentSlide = $objPHPPowerPoint->getActiveSlide();

// Create a shape (drawing)
$shape = $currentSlide->createDrawingShape();
$shape->setName('PHPPresentation logo')
      ->setDescription('PHPPresentation logo')
      ->setPath('./resources/phppowerpoint_logo.gif')
      ->setHeight(36)
      ->setOffsetX(10)
      ->setOffsetY(10);
$shape->getShadow()->setVisible(true)
                   ->setDirection(45)
                   ->setDistance(10);

// Create a shape (text)
$shape = $currentSlide->createRichTextShape()
      ->setHeight(300)
      ->setWidth(600)
      ->setOffsetX(170)
      ->setOffsetY(180);
$shape->getActiveParagraph()->getAlignment()->setHorizontal( Alignment::HORIZONTAL_CENTER );
$textRun = $shape->createTextRun('Thank you for using PHPPresentation!');
$textRun->getFont()->setBold(true)
                   ->setSize(60)
                   ->setColor( new Color( 'FFE06B20' ) );

$oWriterPPTX = IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'PowerPoint2007');
$oWriterPPTX->save(__DIR__ . "/sample.pptx");
$oWriterODP = IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'ODPresentation');
$oWriterODP->save(__DIR__ . "/sample.odp");
```
