Customizability + Bugs for Gamma generated diagrams
Tejas Gopal
I'm utilizing Gamma to create diagrams and there are a couple issues.
1) It would be nice if there was a way to customize the bar graph colors, I am currently utilizing a theme and have secondary accent colors but it seems like it just uses various shades of the primary accent color.
2) The diagrams also STILL are getting cut off. I've mentioned this issue I think twice before. It got better for sure but sometimes it's still too tight like in the picture I attached.
Here is my payload request:
create_payload = {
"inputText": full_prompt,
"textMode": "generate",
"format": "presentation",
"themeId": self.gamma_theme,
"numCards": slide_amount,
"cardSplit": "auto",
"additionalInstructions": additional_instructions,
"exportAs": "pptx",
"textOptions": {
"amount": "medium",
"tone": "professional, analytical",
"audience": "You are speaking to business stakeholders at pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, they are non-technical but familiar with pharma data. You are NOT speaking with doctors nor providers.",
"language": "en",
},
"imageOptions": {
"source": "noImages",
},
}
The full_prompt is essentially a bunch of medical data that has summarized data in the picture. The themeId if you need is 5w52s5zoe1a24ka
The additional_instructions is "Note that you are talking to pharmaceutical manufacturer stakeholders, not providers. Make the title informative, only utilize a title and nothing else should go at the top. Also no need to mention the steps in the title. Try not to have a lot of empty space in slides, make analysis font readable (not too small). Also utilize box formats for text and other formats when possible, so essentially try to avoid having the entirety of a slide just be text on a white background. When I say "Bar Diagram" I mean a bar diagram with vertical bars showcasing the data. It shouldn't take the whole slide and should be side by side with the combined interpretation. The y axis should showcase numbers while the x axis should be the category. Use whole numbers for the y axis intervals, not decimals. One edge case is that if there's no data for a step, just make a slide that says "no data available for this step.."
And there's more info about what to do on each slide.

Tejas Gopal thanks for the super detailed writeup (and the screenshot + payload), this is really helpful. I’m going to pass both requests to the team: (1) explicit bar color control (or better use of secondary accents) and (2) charts still getting clipped on the edges.
Quick couple questions so we can pin down the clipping bug: 1) does it happen in the Gamma editor view, in the PPTX export, or both? 2) when it clips, is it always the same side (top/right like your screenshot) or does it vary by chart/slide?

Nik Payne (Gamma design) Just happens in the PPTX export. It's typically either the right side (top right) or the bottom x axis label that gets cut off. Again all of thi sin PPTX, not Gamma.
