Objectives

Generate beautiful presentations with the following features:

• Automatically position a cursor on a scored bar based on a value
• Use placeholders for dynamic content

Solution

Here’s how to construct a PPTX template to achieve this with Carbone:

1. Create a scored bar and cursor

   • Go to the Insert menu, and select the desired shapes from the Shapes menu to draw the scored bar and its cursor.

   Note: The :transform() formatter, which is used later, works with shapes such as rectangles, arrows, or organizational charts, but not with lines. If you need a line, draw a rectangle as thin as possible.

2. Define the dynamic position of the cursor

   • Right-click on the shape representing the cursor, go to the View Alt Text menu, and specify the path of the value that the cursor should represent. Use Carbone tag to set its position using:

     • the :ifLT formatter to evaluate the value
     • the :show() formatter to transmit the offset value
     • the :transform formatter to move the shape on Y-axis

   Example: {d.DPE:ifLT(231):show(2.25):transform(y,cm)}

   • The value can be tested multiple times consecutively in the same Carbone tag to match the different positions on the scored bar:

   Example: {d.DPE:ifLT(51):show(0):ifLT(91):show(0.75):ifLT(151):show(1.5):ifLT(231):show(2.25):ifLT(331):show(3):ifLT(451):show(3.75):ifLT(45100):show(4.5):transform(y,cm)}

3. Insert a placeholder and define the path of the image

   • Right-click on the temporary image, go to the View Alt Text menu and specify the path of the image to be displayed

   Example: {d.picture}

4. Insert all relevant data using Carbone tags throughout the rest of the template.

And there you go!

Note: This template does not create new slides. The data must fit within a single slide. If not use a DOCX template and set up the paper size to a custum size of 33cm x 19 cm, or use an ODP template
