Quick question: I'm working off a master document. The slide I am reference has the title aligned to the left. Simply put, how would you center the title?
Here's my current code
title = slide.shapes.title
title.text = 'Discussion'
I've looked a lot for this question, and all I could find were examples of centering text, but none on centering titles. Anyway, I hope this is a quick, easy, and helpful fix. Thanks!
A "title" is a shape. It's a little special in terms of how it's identified (always gets id=0 I believe), but otherwise no different than any other text-containing shape.
A shape that can contain text (so not a picture, graphics-frame, line, or group) contains a text-frame that contains one or more paragraphs.
Centered-alignment is an aspect of a paragraph. (Note that vertical alignment is an aspect of the text-frame.)
So to do the needful here:
from pptx.enum.text import PP_ALIGN
title.text_frame.paragraphs[0].alignment = PP_ALIGN.CENTER
If for whatever reason the title contains multiple paragraphs and you want all of them aligned center:
for paragraph in title.text_frame.paragraphs:
paragraph.alignment = PP_ALIGN.CENTER
