gslides: Creating charts in Google slides

gslides is a Python package that helps analysts turn pandas dataframes into Google slides & sheets charts by configuring and executing Google API calls.

The package provides a set of classes that enable the user full control over the creation of new visualizations through configurable parameters while eliminating the complexity of working directly with the Google API.

Quick Installation

.. code-block:: bash

pip install gslides

Usage

Below is an example that only showcases a simple workflow. Full discussion around features can be found in the docs.

1. Initialize package and connection

.. code-block:: python

import gslides from gslides import ( Frame, Presentation, Spreadsheet, Table, Series, Chart ) from sklearn import datasets gslides.initialize_credentials(creds) #BringYourOwnCredentials

2. Create a presentation

.. code-block:: python

prs = Presentation.create(name = 'demo pres')

3. Create a spreadsheet

.. code-block:: python

spr = Spreadsheet.create( title = 'demo spreadsheet', sheet_names = ['demo sheet'] )

4. Load the data to the spreadsheet

.. code-block:: python

plt_df = #Iris data frame = Frame.create(df = plt_df, spreadsheet_id = spr.spreadsheet_id, sheet_id = spr.sheet_names['demo sheet'], sheet_name = 'demo sheet', overwrite_data = True )

5. Create a scatterplot

.. code-block:: python

sc = Series.scatter(series_columns = target_names) ch = Chart( data = frame.data, x_axis_column = 'sepal length (cm)', series = [sc], title = f'Demo Chart', x_axis_label = 'Sepal Length', y_axis_label = 'Petal Width', legend_position = 'RIGHT_LEGEND', )

6. Create a table

.. code-block:: python

tbl = Table( data = plt_df.head() )

7. Create a slide with the scatterplot

.. code-block:: python

prs.add_slide( objects = [ch, tbl], layout = (1,2), title = "Investigation into Fischer's Iris dataset", notes = "Data from 1936" )

8. Preview the slide you have just created in your notebook

.. code-block:: python

prs.show_slide(prs.slide_ids[-1])
