How to export a Tibco Spotfire report in PPT file on the Action Button Click


I want to export a Tibco Spotfire report in PPT format as user clicks on the Button. Is there any IronPython script which can do this as action fires?


Solution

  • This will open up powerpoint and export one visualisation per page:

    from System.IO import *
    from Spotfire.Dxp.Application.Visuals import VisualContent
    from System.Drawing import Bitmap, Graphics, Rectangle, Point
    import clr
    clr.AddReference("Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint")
    import Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint as PowerPoint
    
    powerpoint = PowerPoint.ApplicationClass()
    powerpoint.Visible = True
    pres=powerpoint.Presentations.Add()
    slideCounter = 1
    
    for visual in Document.ActivePageReference.Visuals:
        #print visual.Title
    
    #export graphic to temp file
    vc = visual.As[VisualContent]()
    bm = Bitmap(2000, 1200)
    g = Graphics.FromImage(bm)
    r = Rectangle(Point(0,0), bm.Size)
    vc.Render(g, r)
    file = Path.GetTempFileName()
    bm.Save(file)
    
    #pp setup
    slide=pres.Slides.Add(slideCounter, PowerPoint.PpSlideLayout.ppLayoutTitleOnly)
    slideCounter = slideCounter+1
    slide.Shapes.AddPicture((file), False, True, 30, 60, 650, 400)
    title=slide.Shapes.Title
    txt=slide.Shapes.AddTextBox(1,10,500,500,100)
    title.Top=0.1
    obj=slide.Shapes.Title.TextFrame.TextRange
    obj.Font.Size=24
    

    You can loop through pages with:

    for page in Document.Pages: Document.ActivePageReference=page Adjusted from code found here: https://tibbr.tibcommunity.com/tibbr/#!/messages/69369
