Tools to create OpenOffice/LibreOffice and PowerPoint (PPTX) presentations from Matlab.
This is temporarily split into two directories. This is bound to change.
- Writes arbitrary figures/diagrams (like saveas)
- Append to existing presentation, or replace
- Does not require OpenOffice/LibreOffice to be installed
- Output conforms to the OASIS document standard
- Does not use COM or other IPC
Note that ODP presentations can be converted to PPT with the unoconv software (but it requires OO/LO to be installed).
saveodp(h,filename,['-a'])
Saves the figure in the file handle h into the OO presentation filename. The file is appended to if '-a' is passed as an argument.
The software is composed by two parts:
- the
saveodp.mfile, which you should copy anywhere in Matlab's path, and - the
img2odp.plscript, which should be in the executable path.
The script relies on a number of Perl modules to work. Installation is straightforward under Linux, less so under Windows. For this reason, a standalone-executable version is provided.
Linux. Use your distribution's package manager or the cpan command to install the OpenOffice::OODoc module.
If you get...
