Fast Extraction of Plain Text Support & Improved Font Substitution in Word Docs using Java/.NET

What's New in this Release?
 
Aspose development team is happy to announce the monthly release of Aspose.Words for Java & .NET 16.2.0. This month’s release contains over 103 useful new features, enhancements and bug fixes to the Aspose.Words products. Here is a look at just a few of the biggest features and API changes in this month’s release, Support of Fast Extraction of Plain Text from flow-format Documents, Support of Axis Logarithmic Scale, Introduced PageSavingCallback for all fixed-page Save Formats, introduced Paragraph.IsFormatRevision and Inline.IsFormatRevision Properties, introduced Shape.Title Property to Get-Set Alt Text Title Property of Shape and improved Font substitution. It has introduced static Document.ExtractText methods to extracts text information from flow-format document. Starting from this version, Aspose.Words supports axis logarithmic scale upon rendering DML chart. It also introduced PageSavingCallback property for all fixed-Page based save formats. PageSavingCallback allows to control how separate pages are saved when a document is exported to fixed-page based save formats. You are able to control PageFileName for each separate page. You can also specify the stream where the document page will be saved using PageStream property. We have introduced Paragraph.IsFormatRevision and Inline.IsFormatRevision properties to check either the formatting of the object was changed in Microsoft Word while change tracking was enabled or not. Starting from 16.2.0 version, Aspose.Words starts supporting Alt Text Title.

Load Universal 3D File & Embed Raw Content Data inside the Texture for FBX using .NET

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.3D for .NET 1.3.0. This new version has better performance than previous. It allows developers to load a Universal 3D document and get the internal elements programmatically. Probably, we’ll add support of exporting a Universal 3D document to other supported formats in the next version. Our product team is working hard to cover all aspects of the Universal 3D format. It also allows developers, to embed the raw content to the texture of FBX, create a vertex element by passing reference and mapping modes, and initialize Vector4 object by passing Vector3 class object. Besides this, we have changed certain namespaces and classes’ names following the coding guidelines widely accepted by Microsoft .NET developers because it improves readability and makes sense in the context in which it is used. In the Aspose.3D API, we have implemented a Universal 3D file reader, which allows developers to load and get the internal elements of the U3D (Universal 3D) file in the same way as with other supported formats. Previously, the CreateElement and CreateElementUV methods of the Mesh class were creating the vertex element without assigning the reference and mapping modes. Developers were setting MappingMode and ReferenceMode properties of the VertexElementNode class object using separate lines of code. Using the version 1.3.0 and later, developers would be able to set these properties at once while calling the CreateElement and CreateElementUV methods of the Mesh class which makes code shorter. The Content property has added to the Texture class to embed the raw content data inside the texture for FBX document. It allows developers to get or set the binary content of the texture by loading texture from the external file. It is optional and specific to the FBX format. This release includes plenty of new features as listed below

• Added a Decompose method on Matrix4
• Added a new Constructor on Vector4 to receive a Vector3 parameter.
• Allows user to create a new vertex element and assign reference mode/mapping mode at once, to make code shorter.
• Allow user to access the layered textures by index.
• Allow user to embed raw texture data inside the Texture instance for FBX files.
• Namespace Aspose.ThreeD.Animations changed to Aspose.ThreeD.Animation
• Class Aspose.ThreeD.Animations.Animation changed to Aspose.ThreeD.Animation.AnimationNode
• Namespace Aspose.ThreeD.IO changed to Aspose.ThreeD.Formats
• Namespace Aspose.ThreeD.Utils changed to Aspose.ThreeD.Utilities

Overview: Aspose.3D for .NET
Aspose.3D for .NET is a feature-rich component and class library for .NET that empowers Mono and .NET application including ASP.NET, Windows Forms and Web Services to connect with prevalent 3D document formats automatically without the 3D modeling and rendering software being installed on the server. It supports FBX (ASCII, Binary) and STL (ASCII, Binary) file formats and developers can easily create, read, convert, modify and control the substance of these 3D document formats using Aspose.3D API.

Apply Portrait or Landscape Orientation to Visio Page & Change a Visio Comment using Java

What’s new in this release?

We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for Java 6.1.0.This release has four noteworthy upgrades to Aspose.Diagram for Java API. It allows developers to set the orientation of the Visio page, protect the shape-ID attribute in SVG, manage the best image quality by setting its brightness level and change comment on the Visio drawing page. Microsoft Office Visio allows users to rotate the page from portrait to landscape or landscape to portrait. Aspose.Diagram API gives an automatic access to accomplish the task and even developers can set the orientation same as on the printer. PrintPageOrientation class of the Aspose.Diagram API allows to do so. Previously, this feature was not working as expected. So, in the Aspose.Diagram API version 6.1.0 and later, developers would be able to set the page orientation. Many of our clients use Aspose.Diagram API to convert a Visio drawing to SVG as it can be dynamic and interactive. The SVG is natively supported by most modern browsers, and is broadly accessible on mobile devices. Using the old API versions, there was no way to distinguish shapes by their IDs. We have mapped shape id attribute in SVG. Developers can use the recent version 6.1.0 or higher for this purpose. Modifying an image’s brightness allows to change the general measure of light in an image. It controls the contrast between the light and dull areas of an image. Aspose.Diagram API offers ImageBrightness property in the ImageSaveOptions class to lead the best image quality. We have applied internal optimizations to enhance it. We add comments in the Visio diagrams to give an additional and more detailed information. The Visio page level comment is one way of addressing the page part of the drawing. Aspose.Diagram API has support of adding a page level comment. Developers can also change the existing page level comments. Many other formatting imperfections, error messages of the Visio drawing structures and additional entry problems have been fixed. It also moves the misplaced entries to their proper location. It also provide fixes for important issues such as VSD to PDF conversion, the word “text” is added in the shape’s text, Incorrect setting of connector text location, Warning of the missing attribute when opened the resultant VDX diagram, Output VDX – Duplicate of an element warning message, VSD to VDX export – the background text color of the shapes turns into black and many more. This release includes several enhanced features and bug fixes as listed below

• mageSaveOptions.setImageBrightness does not work
• VSD to SVG export does not preserve shape ids
• Output format VDX - Can't connect two Visio shapes
• Can't change page orientation by setting PrintPageOrientation property
• VSD to PDF conversion, the word "text" is added in the shape's text
• Incorrect setting of connector text location
• Warning of the missing attribute when opened the resultant VDX diagram
• Shape.connectedShapes method does not detect some incoming shape ids
• [Output VDX] - Duplicate of an element warning message
• VSD to VDX export - the background text color of the shapes turns into black
• VSD to VDX export - the arrows of diagram are misplaced
• VSD to VDX export - the text of the shapes goes outside the boundary

Overview: Aspose.Diagram for Java
Aspose.Diagram is a class library for working with MS Visio files & is a pure Java alternate for MS Visio Object Model. It is a standalone Visio Java library and does not depend on Microsoft Office Visio. It enables developers to work with VSD & VDX files and they can open files & Add   & manipulate the elements of the diagram, export Visio files to PDF, XML, HTML, images format, SVG & several other formats,  Rotate a shape, Add a hyperlink to a Visio shape, protect diagram shape and many more.  Aspose.Diagram can be used with any kind of application, whether it’s a Web Application or a Windows Desktop Application.

Edit Page-Level Comments & Control Image Brightness While Visio to Image Export using .NET

What’s new in this release?

We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 6.1.0. The Aspose.Diagram API had already provided comprehensive and powerful functionalities to interact with Visio and automate regular drawing building and export tasks. In this progressive API version, we have enhanced Visio to SVG export, Visio to Image export and editing Visio page level comment. We’ve squashed many other formatting bugs, error messages and incorporated the most suitable enhancements. Each page can have its own set of page-level comments that are exhibited by an icon in the upper-left corner of the page. Aspose.Diagram API already allows developers to make a comment about the diagram, just add a comment by calling AddComment method of the Page class which becomes a page-level comment. They can now edit a page level comment. Many developers convert Visio drawing to SVG and use vector graphics in their web applications to show the technical diagrams in the web browser. Upon using previous versions of the Aspose.Diagram API, there was no way to track all shape IDs. Developers were unable to extract shapes uniquely from the SVG. So in the Aspose.Diagram API version 6.1.0 and later, developers would have the ability to parse SVG by unique shape IDs. The brightness setting is handy when we convert Visio to an image because it controls the contrast performance of the various items. Aspose.Diagram API offers ImageBrightness property in the ImageSaveOptions class and it makes image quality the most ideal. We have applied internal optimizations to enhance it because its quality was not worthy, by one of our clients. This API version also aims to ease the connection between multiple Visio shapes. In some reported use cases, the dynamic connectors were not being connected properly. We have raised accuracy rate in extracting glued or connected shape IDs, missed or misplaced text and arrow of the shapes and preserve color scheme of the shapes. All these factors give professional look to the Visio diagrams. Here is the list of important enhancements and bugs fixes in the new version.

• Add support to modify comments in the Visio diagram
• ImageSaveOptions.ImageBrightness does not work
• VSD to SVG export does not preserve shape ids
• VSD to PDF conversion, the word "text" is added in the shape's text

• Aspose.Diagram API does not preserve Name and NameU properties of the sub shapes
• Warning of the missing attribute when opened the resultant VDX diagram
• Shape.connectedShapes method does not detect some incoming shape ids
• [Output VDX] - Duplicate of an element warning message
• Output format VDX - Can't connect two Visio shapes
• VSD to PDF conversion, form tabs text is shifted down

• VSD to VDX export - the background text color of the shapes turns into black
• VSD to VDX export - the arrows of diagram are misplaced
• VSD to VDX export - the text of the shapes goes outside the boundary
• VSD to VDX export, ConnectCollection returns incorrect count of the connects and values
