It's mainly in c++, but you will not find it isolated somewhere, it's more
a result of multiple core features working together. I'm pretty sure it
will not be possible to simply extract a 'PPT to image' function. In
practise the office is used in various situations as server in headless
running mode; then applications communicate with it over UNO API and e.g.
send it a PPT and make it send back an image (or any other available
format, presentations anyways will not be handled well with one image).

That conversion is highly complex, nothing I would expect to see in
imageMagick too soon.
