pptxgenjs

    Deprecated

    Planned for the next major

    Naming and unit inconsistencies that cannot be fixed without breaking existing decks (tracked in issue #29). Non-breaking halves of these have already shipped:

    AreaTodayPlanned
    Stroke thicknessBorderProps.pt (points) vs ShapeLineProps.width (points)width everywhere; pt is deprecated and still honoured
    Layout dimensionsdefineLayout({ name, width, height })w/h accepted today; width/height remain supported
    margininches on table cells, points on slide numbersinches everywhere
    AlignmentHAlign/VAlign strings vs the exported TEXT_HALIGN/TEXT_VALIGN OOXML enumsone vocabulary - the string unions

    Version 3.0 Breaking Changes

    Please see the Version 3.0 Migration Guide

    • pptx.colors is deprecated - use pptx.SchemeColor
    • pptx.charts is deprecated - use pptx.ChartType
    • pptx.shapes is deprecated - use pptx.ShapeType

    Version 2.0 Breaking Changes

    Version 2.0.0 included a cleanup of the API surface and may break existing code. In most cases a search-and-replace of the renamed option names resolves the breakage.

    Although the changes primarily affect cosmetic properties, test your solutions thoroughly before upgrading pptxgenjs to the 2.0 version.

    All Users

    The library getVersion() method is now a property: version

    Option names are now camelCase across all methods:

    • font_face renamed to fontFace
    • font_size renamed to fontSize
    • line_dash renamed to lineDash
    • line_head renamed to lineHead
    • line_size renamed to lineSize
    • line_tail renamed to lineTail

    Options deprecated in early 1.0 versions:

    • marginPt renamed to margin

    Node Users

    • require('pptxgenjs-plus') no longer returns a singleton instance
    • pptx = new PptxGenJS() will create a single, unique instance
    • Advantage: This simplifies creating multiple presentations - see Issue #83 for details.
