How can I copy a slide?
I created a template slide and I need to copy it and edit shapes of each copy separately.
Or how I can add my template slide to presentation.slide_layouts
?
This is what I found on GitHub, and it works for me. I did change a couple of things for my project. You will need to import six and copy. I am using pptx-6.10
def duplicate_slide(pres, index):
template = pres.slides[index]
try:
blank_slide_layout = pres.slide_layouts[12]
except:
blank_slide_layout = pres.slide_layouts[len(pres.slide_layouts)]
copied_slide = pres.slides.add_slide(blank_slide_layout)
for shp in template.shapes:
el = shp.element
newel = copy.deepcopy(el)
copied_slide.shapes._spTree.insert_element_before(newel, 'p:extLst')
for _, value in six.iteritems(template.part.rels):
# Make sure we don't copy a notesSlide relation as that won't exist
if "notesSlide" not in value.reltype:
copied_slide.part.rels.add_relationship(
value.reltype,
value._target,
value.rId
)
return copied_slide
Then you can create the copy by passing in your presentation and the slide index of your template:
copied_slide = duplicate_slide(pres, 4)
