I am trying to add images to a PowerPoint slide using pptx.
img_path = 'test.png'
prs = Presentation()
blank_slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[6]
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(blank_slide_layout)
left = top = Inches(1)
pic = slide.shapes.add_picture(img_path, left, top)
Every time I run this (I have tried with several different images, some generated by matplotlib and some downloaded) I receive the following error from the .add_picture():
Continuum\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\pptx\parts\image.pyc in _size(self)
158 image_stream = StringIO(self._blob)
--> 159 width_px, height_px = PIL_Image.open(image_stream).size
160 image_stream.close()
161 return width_px, height_px
Continuum\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.pyc in open(fp, mode)
1978 :param size: A 2-tuple, containing (width, height) in pixels.
1979 :param color: What color to use for the image. Default is black.
-> 1980 If given, this should be a single integer or floating point value
1981 for single-band modes, and a tuple for multi-band modes (one value
1982 per band). When creating RGB images, you can also use color
IOError: cannot identify image file
What can I do to fix this problem?
