Impress

Impress can be used to create slideshows that are more than just a simple left to right, slide by slide implementation like Powerpoint. Take a look at this demo here.

Slideshow Functions

impress.Slideshow(width, height) : Creates a slideshow that will open upon presentation in a window with the specified width and height. It also returns a Slideshow object (the class is explained below).
impress.Slide(x, y, z) : Creates a slide at position (x, y, z) that can be edited and added to a slideshow. If z is not included, it is set to 0 by default. This also returns a Slide object (the class is explained below).
impress.Paragraph() : Creates a paragraph object that can be added to a slide. It returns Paragraph object that can be modified.
impress.builtinFonts() : Returns a list of names of built in fonts.
impress.builtinThemes() : Returns a list of names of built in themes.

Slideshow Class

slideshow.setTitle(title) : Sets the title of the Slideshow to the string title. The default title is "Impress Presentation".
slideshow.setTheme(theme) : Sets the theme of the Slideshow to the built in theme passed in the string theme. If the theme is not set, it will be set to the default theme.
slideshow.setFont(font) : Sets the font of all the text in the slideshow to the built in font passed in the string font.
slideshow.setBackgroundColor(r, g, b) : Sets the background color theme of the slideshow to the specified red, green, and blue values.
slideshow.setFontColor(r, g, b) : Sets the font color of the text in the slideshow to the specified red, green, and blue values.
slideshow.setLinkColor(r, g, b) : Sets the background color of all links in the slideshow to the specified red, green, and blue values.
slideshow.addSlides(slides) : Sets the list of slides for the Slideshow to the list of Slides that is passed in the function call
slideshow.present() : Creates the HTML for the slideshow and opens it in a new window.
slideshow.next() : Goes to the next slide if the slideshow is open
slideshow.prev() : Goes to the previous slide if the slideshow is open

Slide Class

slide.setPosition(x, y[, z=0]) : Sets the position of the slide to the specified (x, y, z) coordinates. This function can also be called with only x and y.
slide.setRotation(x, y, z) : Sets the rotation of the slide around the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis. If the slideshow will remain 2-D, call this function with (0, 0, z).
slide.setScale(number) : Sets the scale for the current slide. This number must be greater than or equal to 1.
slide.addList(list[, ordered=False]) : Adds the list to the elements that are added in the current slide. If ordered is True then it will be an ordered list.
slide.addImage(imageURL[, alignment="center", size=None]): Adds the image with the specified URL to the current slide with the specified alignment. The default alignment is "center". You can set the alignment to "right", "center", or "left". The size is the number of pixels for the width of the image. It will keep the proportions of the original image if set. If you want to set the size you must also set the alignment.
slide.addHeader(text, level[, alignment="center"]): Adds a header with the specified text to the current Slide. The level must be a number between 1 and 6, as it represents the HTML tags <h1>, <h2>, ... <h6>. By default, the alignment is "center". You can set the alignment to "right", "center", or "left".
slide.addParagraph(paragraph[, alignment="center"]): Adds a paragraph to the specified slide. Default alignment is "center". You can set the alignment to "right", "center", or "left".

Paragraph Class

paragraph.addText(text[, bold=False, italic=False]): Adds text to the current paragraph that is bold and/or italicized. Default values for bold and italic are both False.
paragraph.addLink(text, address[, target="new"]): Adds a hyperlink to the current paragraph. The text that is shown is the text that appears in place of the web address. If you want the webpage to open in a new window, you must pass the target as "self". If you want the link to open in the same window, do not include the third parameter.
paragraph.addBreak(): Adds a line break to the current paragraph.

# create a slideshow, set theme, fonts, etc.
x = impress.Slideshow(1000, 500)
x.setTitle("Team JAZZ Presentation")
x.setTheme("green")
x.setFont("Slackey")

# create first slide
slide1 = impress.Slide(50, 10, 0)
slide1.addHeader("Meet our Team", 1)
slide1.setScale(1)
slide1.addList(list1)
slide1.addImage("http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/0/0d/025Pikachu.png/250px-025Pikachu.png", "center")
slide1.addHeader("Awesome!!!", 2, "center")

# create second slide
slide2 = impress.Slide(300, 1000, 0)
slide2.setRotation(0, 0, 90)
slide2.setScale(3)
slide2.addHeader("Second Slide", 2, "center")
slide2.addImage("http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/85/385Jirachi.png/250px-385Jirachi.png", "center")

# create third slide
slide3 = impress.Slide(1000, 200, 90)
slide3.setRotation(0, 90, 180)
slide3.setScale(2)
p = impress.Paragraph()
p.addText("This is a test paragraph", True, False)
p.addBreak()
p.addText(".. and a test link ")
p.addLink("OYOclass", "https://oyoclass.com/")
p.addBreak()
p.addText("   Another text", False, True)
slide3.addParagraph(p, "center")

# now add above 3 slides to our slideshow
x.addSlides([slide1, slide2, slide3])
x.present()

#go to next slide after waiting five seconds
time.sleep(5)
x.next()
