# Waterfall Charts Showcase This demo consists of three files that work together: - **charts-waterfall.py** — Python script that calls `officecli` commands to generate the deck. - **charts-waterfall.pptx** — The generated 8-slide deck (4 charts per slide, with one hero full-slide chart on slide 7). - **charts-waterfall.md** — This file. Maps each slide to the features it demonstrates. ## Regenerate ```bash cd examples/ppt/charts python3 charts-waterfall.py # → charts-waterfall.pptx ``` In a waterfall chart, positive values are "increase" bars, negative values are "decrease" bars, and the first/last values are typically "total" bars. The `increaseColor`, `decreaseColor`, and `totalColor` properties control each segment type. ## Chart Slides ### Slide 1 — Basic Waterfall (Default Colors) ```bash CATS="Start,Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4,End"
