create a powerpoint presentation with multiple slides in matlab

MATLAB provides the option to create and modify PowerPoint (PPT) files with its actxserver function. Here is an example code to create a PPT file with multiple slides:

main.m
% Create connection with a running PowerPoint instance
ppt = actxserver('PowerPoint.Application');

% Add a new presentation
prs = ppt.Presentations.Add;

% Add a new slide to the presentation
slide1 = prs.Slides.Add(1,1);

% Add a textbox to the slide
tb = slide1.Shapes.AddTextbox('msoTextOrientationHorizontal',50,100,300,100);

% Set the text of the textbox
tb.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = 'Slide 1';

% Add a new slide to the presentation
slide2 = prs.Slides.Add(2,2);

% Add a textbox to the slide
tb = slide2.Shapes.AddTextbox('msoTextOrientationHorizontal',50,100,300,100);

% Set the text of the textbox
tb.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = 'Slide 2';

% Save the presentation
prs.SaveAs('example.ppt');

% Close the presentation and PowerPoint
prs.Close;
ppt.Quit;
766 chars
31 lines

This code creates a presentation with two slides, each with a textbox that displays the slide's number. You can modify this code to add more slides and shapes to the presentation as needed. Note that you need to have Microsoft PowerPoint installed on your computer to use this function.
