 | AxPoint: Generate PDF slideshows from XML source
Matt Sergeant has announced the upload to CPAN of XML::Handler::AxPoint, a Perl module for
generating Powerpoint-like presentations/slideshows from
XML documents.
He's also posted examples of presentations he's generated
using the module.
Features include:
-
Ability to create slideshows with your choice of
background image
-
Slideshows break down into slidesets, or not at
your choice.
-
Slides can show bullet points, source code (fixed
font), or images.
-
Slides can have transition effects (dissolve, box,
wipe, etc)
-
All elements of a slide can transition in too.
-
Text on slides supports bold, italics, and
colours. Colours can be any one of the 16 HTML
colours, or defined as hex RGB values.
-
Output uses the standard XML::SAX::Writer consumer classes,
allowing you to output direct to a file, or to a
string, or however you need to. Very useful for
dynamic web based presentations.
-
PDF bookmarks to allow direct navigation to any
slide.
