Creating table slide

Create a slide with a formatted table for data presentation:

• get the first slide in the current presentation (Api/GetPresentation, ApiPresentation/GetSlideByIndex);
• set the slide background color (Api/CreateRGBColor, Api/CreateSolidFill, ApiSlide/SetBackground);
• create and position the slide title (Api/CreateShape, ApiDrawing/SetPosition, ApiShape/GetDocContent);
• create a table with specified dimensions (Api/CreateTable, ApiTable/GetRow, ApiTableRow/GetCell);
• format table headers with colored background (ApiTableCell/SetShd, ApiTableCell/GetContent);
• add content to table cells (Api/CreateParagraph, ApiParagraph/AddText, ApiDocumentContent/Push);
• add the table to the slide (ApiSlide/AddObject).

• Code
• Result

let presentation = Api.GetPresentation();
let slide = presentation.GetSlideByIndex(0);
slide.RemoveAllObjects();

// Set neutral background color
let backgroundColor = Api.CreateRGBColor(248, 249, 250);
let backgroundFill = Api.CreateSolidFill(backgroundColor);
slide.SetBackground(backgroundFill);

// Create title shape
let titleShape = Api.CreateShape("rect", 8_000_000, 1_000_000, Api.CreateNoFill(), Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill()));
titleShape.SetPosition(572_000, 400_000);

// Get title content and clear it
let titleContent = titleShape.GetDocContent();
titleContent.RemoveAllElements();

// Create title paragraph
let titleParagraph = Api.CreateParagraph();
titleParagraph.SetJc("center");
let titleRun = titleParagraph.AddText("Quarterly Sales Report");

// Format title text (28pt, Bold, Center)
titleRun.SetFontSize(28 * 2); // Font size in half-points
titleRun.SetBold(true);

titleContent.Push(titleParagraph);
slide.AddObject(titleShape);

// Create table (4 columns × 5 rows)
let table = Api.CreateTable(4, 5);

// Define table headers
let headers = ["Quarter", "Revenue", "Expenses", "Profit"];

// Define table data

    let cellRun = cellParagraph.AddText(tableData[rowIndex][colIndex]);
    
    // Format data text (14pt, Regular)

// Add table to slide
