#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Create thumbnail grids from PowerPoint presentation slides. Creates a grid layout of slide thumbnails with configurable columns (max 6). Each grid contains up to cols×(cols+1) images. For presentations with more slides, multiple numbered grid files are created automatically. The program outputs the names of all files created. Output: - Single grid: {prefix}.jpg (if slides fit in one grid) - Multiple grids: {prefix}-1.jpg, {prefix}-2.jpg, etc. Grid limits by column count: - 3 cols: max 12 slides per grid (3×4) - 4 cols: max 20 slides per grid (4×5) - 5 cols: max 30 slides per grid (5×6) [default] - 6 cols: max 42 slides per grid (6×7) Usage: python thumbnail.py input.pptx [output_prefix] [--cols N] [--outline-placeholders] Examples: python thumbnail.py presentation.pptx # Creates: thumbnails.jpg (using default prefix) # Outputs: # Created 1 grid(s): # - thumbnails.jpg python thumbnail.py large-deck.pptx grid --cols 4 # Creates: grid-1.jpg, grid-2.jpg, grid-3.jpg # Outputs: # Created 3 grid(s): # - grid-1.jpg # - grid-2.jpg # - grid-3.jpg python thumbnail.py template.pptx analysis --outline-placeholders # Creates thumbnail grids with red outlines around text placeholders """ import argparse import subprocess import sys import tempfile from pathlib import Path from inventory import extract_text_inventory from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont from pptx import Presentation # Constants THUMBNAIL_WIDTH = 300 # Fixed thumbnail width in pixels CONVERSION_DPI = 100 # DPI for PDF to image conversion MAX_COLS = 6 # Maximum number of columns DEFAULT_COLS = 5 # Default number of columns JPEG_QUALITY = 95 # JPEG compression quality # Grid layout constants GRID_PADDING = 20 # Padding between thumbnails BORDER_WIDTH = 2 # Border width around thumbnails FONT_SIZE_RATIO = 0.12 # Font size as fraction of thumbnail width LABEL_PADDING_RATIO = 0.4 # Label padding as fraction of font size def main(): parser = argparse.ArgumentParser( description="Create thumbnail grids from PowerPoint slides." ) parser.add_argument("input", help="Input PowerPoint file (.pptx)") parser.add_argument( "output_prefix", nargs="?", default="thumbnails", help="Output prefix for image files (default: thumbnails, will create prefix.jpg or prefix-N.jpg)", ) parser.add_argument( "--cols", type=int, default=DEFAULT_COLS, help=f"Number of columns (default: {DEFAULT_COLS}, max: {MAX_COLS})", ) parser.add_argument( "--outline-placeholders", action="store_true", help="Outline text placeholders with a colored border", ) args = parser.parse_args() cols = min(args.cols, MAX_COLS) if args.cols > MAX_COLS: print(f"Warning: Columns limited to {MAX_COLS} (requested {args.cols})") input_path = Path(args.input) if not input_path.is_file() or input_path.suffix.lower() != ".pptx": sys.exit(f"Error: Invalid PowerPoint file: {args.input}") output_path = Path(f"{args.output_prefix}.jpg") print(f"Processing: {args.input}") try: with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as temp_dir: temp_path = Path(temp_dir) placeholder_regions = None slide_dimensions = None if args.outline_placeholders: print("Extracting placeholder regions...") placeholder_regions, slide_dimensions = get_placeholder_regions(input_path) if placeholder_regions: print(f"Found placeholders on {len(placeholder_regions)} slides") prs = Presentation(str(input_path)) total_slides = len(prs.slides) hidden_slides = { idx + 1 for idx, slide in enumerate(prs.slides) if slide.element.get("show") == "0" } hidden_info = f" ({len(hidden_slides)} hidden)" if hidden_slides else "" print(f"Found {total_slides} slides{hidden_info}") slide_images = convert_to_images(input_path, temp_path, CONVERSION_DPI, total_slides, hidden_slides) if not slide_images: sys.exit("Error: No slides found") grid_files = create_grids( slide_images, cols, THUMBNAIL_WIDTH, output_path, placeholder_regions, slide_dimensions, ) print(f"Created {len(grid_files)} grid(s):") for grid_file in grid_files: print(f" - {grid_file}") except RuntimeError as e: sys.exit(f"Error: {e}") def create_hidden_slide_placeholder(size): """Create placeholder image for hidden slides.""" img = Image.new("RGB", size, color="#F0F0F0") draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img) line_width = max(5, min(size) // 100) draw.line([(0, 0), size], fill="#CCCCCC", width=line_width) draw.line([(size[0], 0), (0, size[1])], fill="#CCCCCC", width=line_width) return img def get_placeholder_regions(pptx_path): """Extract ALL text regions from the presentation.
