Summary

I was doing quite a bit of fiddling with creating image requests and now can't create a new blank slide.

I unfortunately don't know how to give an exactly reproducible example for this problem because it is probably related to my account.

Whenever I run code to create a new slide (see code I run below), a new slide IS created, but my new slides always have the images I was using for testing before even though I no longer link to them or provide it to the code.

This is what I'm running:

slides_id <- "slide_id here"
requests <- add_create_slide_page_request(predefined_layout = "BLANK") 
commit_to_slides(slides_id, requests)

And this is what shows up in my slides even though I'm just looking for (and expecting) a blank slide.

The images in the background of this slide are not deletable or movable if that helps narrow in on the problem.

Things I've tried to refresh everything and get rid of those background slide images:

• I've refreshed RStudio sessions many a time
• I've completely restarted my docker container I was working from
• I created a new google slide set to work from
• I uninstalled rgoogleslides and reinstalled and tried outside of a docker container.

But no matter what, new slides have background images like that.

Is there somewhere in the API itself or in the package that a cache is stored? How do I truly clear everything out so I can get a blank slide again?

Any advice you can give would be great. I am stumped.

slide_page$pageElements$table$tableRows[[8]]$tableCells[[1]]$text$textElements[[1]]$textRun$content

This was what one would need to understand what value within a table
We would need to simplify this as much as possible

This function allows a user to be able to position the images in a certain way on the slides.
The interesting bit of being able to center the images as well as to fill up the images would prove especially useful for the arrangement of images

Due to the nature of the Google Slides API - it may contain large amounts of nesting, it might actually be good to explore using classes to express the data structure. The current methodology might actually impose a tax on maintainence as there is need to read and understand the lists that are being passed around in the package internals.

Internally, the package will pass around classes of such objects. However, the package will still expose functions as that is the easiest for a user to make sense of how to use the package.

More information on this will be added on a later date

In the past, it was possible to upload images to the user's Google Drive and then somehow, via the Slides API, get it into Google Slides. This "feature" (maybe it was a bug then?) was broken for more than a year. There are temporary workarounds (e.g. putting the image in public domain) but there is no effort to add such a workaround into this package

Considering to add this mechanism to this package - however, that would mean developers using this package need to also wrap their head around GCS which not be too familiar for some who don't even touch any product in GCP

Will first need to experiment this on a separate branch - it will most likely not be a huge breaking change (more like a experimental function added on the side)

According to an internal vote, we would be renaming the googleslides R package to rgoogleslides R package

The following issue tracks release of 0.3.2 of the rgoogleslides package to CRAN

Hey - great package, like using it. Is there anything in the works to put this on CRAN? It seems as though it passes R CMD check all fine, so it wouldn't seem like a huge effort.

Without this, I can't depend on this package for my CRAN packages.
Thoughts?

Dear maintainer,

You have file 'rgoogleslides/man/rgoogleslides.Rd' with
\docType{package}, likely intended as a package overview help file, but
without the appropriate PKGNAME-package \alias as per "Documenting
packages" in R-exts.

This seems to be the consequence of the breaking change

Using @doctype package no longer automatically adds a -package alias.
Instead document _PACKAGE to get all the defaults for package
documentation.

in roxygen2 7.0.0 (2019-11-12) having gone unnoticed, see
r-lib/roxygen2#1491.

As explained in the issue, to get the desired PKGNAME-package \alias
back, you should either change to the new approach and document the new
special sentinel

"_PACKAGE"

or manually add

@Aliases rgoogleslides-package

if remaining with the old approach.

Please fix in your master sources as appropriate, and submit a fixed
version of your package within the next few months.

Hi, if you try to add an image following
https://hairizuan.wordpress.com/2017/05/11/use-case-sending-a-ggplot-graph-into-googleslides/
the library always paste it in the page ‘p’. (even changing the slideID for another one)
The cause of this ERROR is in the function ‘aligned_page_element_property’ .The line adj_page_element_property <- page_element_property("p", height_magnitude = image_height,

should be

adj_page_element_property <- page_element_property(slide_page_id, height_magnitude = image_height,
Excellent package!!

Convenience function to be able to create settings to create video/images that would cover the whole slide

Implementation of the following Googleslide API endpoint:
https://developers.google.com/slides/reference/rest/v1/presentations/create

The example from this blog post no longer runs. I get the following error:

Error in rgoogleslides::commit_to_slides(presentation_id, request) : Invalid requests[0].createImage: Access to the provided image was forbidden.

The file is successfully uploaded to Drive, but can't be moved from Drive to Slides.

Looks related to the API changes outlined here:

Hello,

There is a package of the same name googledrive by the Tidyverse people, which clashes with your googledrive package. I would consider renaming yours, or using theirs instead - which can be done by, for example, changing the lines in your demo from id <- googledrive::upload_file("first_plot.png") to id <- googledrive::drive_upload("first_plot.png"), and googledrive::authorize() to googledrive::drive_auth().

There is a lack of documentation for the usage of the authorize function

I came across your R package for Google slides, amazing stuff!

Is this something you will continue to develop at any point? I am really looking for the ability to take ggplot2 visualisations and insert them into Google slides presentations. Is there any way in which I can help? -- not an advanced R user, but have been using it a lot since the new year.

Allow for gargle (https://github.com/r-lib/gargle) style of authentication in rgoogleslides::authorize. See https://gargle.r-lib.org/articles/gargle-auth-in-client-package.html for information. I'll try to adapt the code so it will work if I have time.

There is a function that takes in a dataframe and creates a new table and puts the data in it.
We would need a similar function that would be able to update the tables.

Input would be a dataframe and the slide page id as well as object id of the table.
This would check whether the table would be able to fit and if its possible, it would need to adjust accordingly to try to fit the table in it.
