What it does

Assemble a PPTX slide deck from a storyboard CSV and images using python-pptx. Supports multiple slide layouts (full background, left-image-right-text, two-column, etc.), custom themes, fonts, and cover design. Use when the user wants to build a PowerPoint presentation from a structured plan, compose slides from images and text, or create a polished deck from a storyboard CSV. Triggers: "build slides", "create pptx", "assemble presentation", "make PowerPoint", "storyboard to slides", "generate deck".

Storyboard to Slides

Assemble a polished PPTX from a storyboard CSV + image files using python-pptx.

Dependencies

# pip install python-pptx Pillow

Input Format

Expects storyboard.csv with columns: slide_no, slide_type, title, bullet_points, image_prompt, speaker_notes, layout

And image files named slide_{no}.png for each row.

Workflow

1. Read the Storyboard

import csv

with open("storyboard.csv", "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    reader = csv.DictReader(f)
    slides = list(reader)

2. Initialize the Presentation

from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches, Pt, Emu
from pptx.dml.color import RGBColor

prs = Presentation()
prs.slide_width = Inches(13.333)   # 16:9
prs.slide_height = Inches(7.5)

For 4:3 slides: Inches(10) x Inches(7.5).

3. Define Theme Constants

# Customize per project
THEME = {
    "bg_color": RGBColor(0x1A, 0x1A, 0x2E),     # dark navy
    "title_color": RGBColor(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF),
    "text_color": RGBColor(0xE0, 0xE0, 0xE0),
    "accent_color": RGBColor(0x64, 0xB5, 0xF6),
    "title_font": "Arial",
    "body_font": "Arial",
    "title_size": Pt(36),
    "body_size": Pt(18),
}

Choose colors that contrast well with the generated images. For light images use dark text overlay with semi-transparent background; for dark images use white text.

4. Layout Implementations

full_bg, Full-screen background image + overlay text

from pptx.util import Inches, Pt, Emu
from pptx.dml.color import RGBColor
from pptx.enum.text import PP_ALIGN, MSO_ANCHOR
