So image generation is done, now we want to put them all into a presentation (One image per slide? Titles?) Suggestions: 1. Dump Powerpoint, learn LaTeX and beamer, your audience will be happy. Including a bunch of image files? Trivial. 2. Dump Powerpoint, use OpenOffice - the OO Impress file is a zip file, one file of which is an XML description of the presentation, so then you just have to create an XML file a bit like that that specifies all your images. You could do this in R. It just needs a bit of simple reverse engineering. Create a simple presentation like the one you want to do with a few images in, then save, then unzip it, figure it out, write a little template (using R's brew package perhaps), then write a new XML file with all your images specified, zip up, job done. Save it from OpenOffice as a Powerpoint file if you really need to use Powerpoint. 3. Okay, so you really want to use Powerpoint, in which case the latest file format (the one with the 'x' at the end) should be some kind of XML file which you might be able to reverse engineer in a similar way to (2). Good luck with that.
