Create Presentation Content
Use the PPT API to create MATLAB programs to add content to PowerPoint presentations and to create complete PowerPoint presentations. You can create a program that works with the slide master and layouts in a PowerPoint presentation. To get started, see Create a Presentation Generator.
To share your completed presentation program with others who do not have MATLAB installed on their systems, see Create a Standalone Application from a Presentation Program.
