Notes

Object IDs must be unique within a presentation
Use batchUpdate for all modifications (adding slides, text, shapes, etc.)
Multiple requests in a batchUpdate are applied atomically
Sizes and positions use PT (points) as the unit (72 points = 1 inch)
Use replaceAllText for template-based presentation generation
