Public API and Backwards Incompatible Changes

Aspose.Slides.IPresentationInfo interface and PresentationInfo class have been added

Represent info about presentation.
Method boolean isEncrypted() gets True if a presentation is encrypted, otherwise gets False.
Methos LoadFormat getLoadFormat() gets type of a presentation.

Aspose.Slides.IShape.isGrouped() method had been added

The method Aspose.Slides.IShape.isGrouped() determines whether the shape is grouped.

Aspose.Slides.IShape.getParentGroup() method had been added

The method Aspose.Slides.IShape.getParentGroup() returns parent GroupShape object if shape is grouped. Otherwise returns null.

Aspose.Slides.IShapeCollection.addGroupShape() method had been added

The method Aspose.Slides.IShapeCollection.addGroupShape() creates a new GroupShape and adds it to the end of the collection.
GroupShape frame size and position will be fitted to content when new shape will be added into the GroupShape.

Aspose.Slides.IShapeCollection.clear() method had been added

The method Aspose.Slides.IShapeCollection.clear() removes all shapes from the collection.

Aspose.Slides.IShapeCollection.insertGroupShape(int) method had been added

The method Aspose.Slides.IShapeCollection.insertGroupShape(int) creates a new GroupShape and inserts it to the collection at the specified index.
GroupShape frame size and position will be fitted to content when new shape will be added into the GroupShape.

Methods IPresentationFactory.getPresentationInfo(string file), IPresentatoinFactory.getPresentationInfo(InputStream stream) have been added

These methods allow to receive information about a presentaiton file/stream without full presentation loading.

Method IPresentationFactory PresentationFactory.getInstance() has been added

Allows using the factory functionality without instantiation.

Restrictions had been added for using undefined values for IShape.getFrame()

Code that attempts to assign undefined frame to IShape.setFrame(IShapeFrame) doesn't make sence in general case (particulary in case when parent GroupShape is multiple nested into other GroupShape-s). For example:

IShape shape = ...;
shape.setFrame(new ShapeFrame(Float.NaN, Float.NaN, Float.NaN, Float.NaN, NullableBool.NotDefined, NullableBool.NotDefined, Float.NaN));

or

slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.RoundCornerRectangle, Float.NaN, Float.NaN, Float.NaN, Float.NaN);

Such code can lead to unclear situations. So restrictions had been added for using undefined values for IShape.Frame. Values of x, y, width, height, flipH, flipV and rotationAngle must be defined (not Float.NaN or NullableBool.NotDefined). Example code above now throws ArgumentException exception.
This applies to these use cases:

IShape shape = ...;
shape.setFrame(...); // cannot be undefined

IShapeCollection shapes = ...;
// x, y, width, height parameters cannot be Float.NaN:
{
shapes.addAudioFrameCD(...);
shapes.addAudioFrameEmbedded(...);
shapes.addAudioFrameLinked(...);
shapes.addAutoShape(...);
shapes.addChart(...);
shapes.addConnector(...);
shapes.addOleObjectFrame(...);
shapes.addPictureFrame(...);
shapes.addSmartArt(...);
shapes.addTable(...);
shapes.addVideoFrame(...);
shapes.insertAudioFrameEmbedded(...);
shapes.insertAudioFrameLinked(...);
shapes.insertAutoShape(...);
shapes.insertChart(...);
shapes.insertConnector(...);
shapes.insertOleObjectFrame(...);
shapes.insertPictureFrame(...);
shapes.insertTable(...);
shapes.insertVideoFrame(...);
}

But IShape.getRawFrame() frame properties can be undefined. This make sence when shape is linked to placeholder. Then undefined shape frame values is overridden from the parent placeholder shape. If there is no parent placeholder shape for that shape then that shape uses default values when it evaluates effective frame based on its IShape.getRawFrame(). Default values are 0 and NullableBool.False for x, y, width, height, flipH, flipV and rotationAngle. For example:

IShape shape = ...; // shape is linked to placeholder
shape.setRawFrame(new ShapeFrame(Float.NaN, Float.NaN, 100, Float.NaN, NullableBool.NotDefined, NullableBool.NotDefined, 0));
// now shape inherits x, y, height, flipH, flipV values form placeholder and overrides width=100 and rotationAngle=0.

Type and name of the Aspose.Slides.IShapeCollection.getParent() method has been changed

Type of the Aspose.Slides.IShapeCollection.Parent property has been changed from ISlideComponent to new IGroupShape interface. IGroupShape interface is the descendant of the ISlideComponent so user code needs no adaptations.
Name of the Aspose.Slides.IShapeCollection.getParent() method has been changed from getParent to getParentGroup().

Type of the Aspose.Slides.IShapeFrame.getFlipH(), .getFlipV() methods has been changed

Type of the Aspose.Slides.IShapeFrame.getFlipH() method has been changed from bool to NullableBool.
IShape.getFrame() method returns effective instance of IShapeFrame (all of which properties have defined effective values).
IShape.getRawFrame() method returns IShapeFrame instance of which each property can have undefined value (particularly FlipH or FlipV can have value NullableBool.NotDefined).

ISmartArtNode node = smart.getAllNodes().get_Item(0);
for (ISmartArtShape shape : node.getShapes())

Note: depending of SmartArtLayoutType one SmartArtShape can be shared between several nodes.

Presentation pres = new Presentation();
ISmartArt smart = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes().addSmartArt(10, 10, 400, 300, SmartArtLayoutType.BasicBlockList);
ISmartArtNode node = smart.getAllNodes().get_Item(0);
for (ISmartArtShape shape : node.getShapes())

Public API Changes

Fonts substitutions functionality has been added

The possibility to replace fonts globally across the presentation and temporary for rendering has been added.

New method getFontsManager() of Presentation class has been introduced. FontsManager class has following members:

IFontSubstRuleCollection getFontSubstRuleList() method

This is the collection of IFontSubstRule instances used to substitute fonts during rendering. IFontSubstRule has getSourceFont() and getDestFont() methods implementing IFontData interface and getReplaceFontCondition() method allowing to choose the condition of replacement ("WhenInaccessible" or "Always").

IFontData[] getFonts() method can be used to retrieve all fonts used in the current presentation.

replaceFont(...) methods can be used to persistently replace a font in a presentation.

The following example shows how to replace a font in a presentation:

Presentation pres = new Presentation("PresContainsArialFont.pptx");
IFontData sourceFont = new FontData("Arial");
IFontData destFont = new FontData("Times New Roman");
pres.getFontsManager().replaceFont(sourceFont, destFont);
pres.save("PresContainsTimesNoewRomanFont.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Another example, shows font substitution for rendering when it is inaccessible:

Presentation pres = new Presentation("PresContainsSomeRareFontFont.pptx");

IFontData sourceFont = new FontData("SomeRareFont");
IFontData destFont = new FontData("Arial");

IFontSubstRule fontSubstRule = new FontSubstRule(
sourceFont, destFont, FontSubstCondition.WhenInaccessible);
IFontSubstRuleCollection fontSubstRuleCollection = new FontSubstRuleCollection();
fontSubstRuleCollection.add(fontSubstRule);

pres.getFontsManager().setFontSubstRuleList(fontSubstRuleCollection);

// Arial font will be used instead of SomeRareFont when inaccessible
pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getThumbnail(1, 1);

Aspose.Slides for Java has been updated to version 15.2.0.

Using Aspose.Slides for Java you can work with PPT, PPTX, OpenDocument, and other formats in your applications. You can also view, generate, modify, convert, render and print presentations all without using Microsoft PowerPoint.
