--- alpha release ---
Plugsocket was created due to the need to create a static version of a Clerk notebook that can be used and edited by non-programmers.
A "presentation" is a sequence of vectors each representing a slide.
Each slide is then a vector made up of zero or more maps, each map representing an object on the slide.
Currently there are four types of objects that can be placed on a slide:
- Text box
- Vega-Lite chart
- Image
- Table
(def presentation
["a presentation"
["slide 1"
{"object 1"
:slide-fn :text-box
:text "foo bar"
:x 50 :y 10
:width (- 1920 100)
:bold? true
:font-size 120.0}
{"object 2"
:slide-fn :picture-box
:image "https://www.mastodonc.com/wp-content/themes/MastodonC-2018/dist/images/logo_mastodonc.png"
:height (partial * 4)}]
["slide 2"
"an empty slide"]
])
Firstly a sequence of objects and slides should be built (see example above).
All slide functions accept a map and require, as a minimum, what will be displayed on the slide.
- For a text box a string
- For a Vega-Lite chart a standard vega view description map (see example)
- For an image a filepath or a URL
- For a table a tablecloth dataset
All slide functions can also take :x and :y parameters for placement of associated box on a slide and most also take :height and :width. All other parameters have defaults but can be adjusted with additional keys (see individual "box" functions for options).
Your slides can be then passed to create-powerpoint which will make a PowerPoint presentation, that can then be further edited or saved to pptx using save-powerpoint!.
