Mimic MS Word 2016 Behavior for Fixed-Page Formats & WMF Fonts Scaling using .NET APIs

What's New in this Release?
 
Aspose development team is happy to announce the monthly release of Aspose.Words for .NET 18.12. In old versions of Aspose.Words, handling of hide mark element in a table cell for rendering document to fixed page format is according to MS Word 2013 behavior. Starting from Aspose.Words 18.12, Aspose team has changed this behaviour to mimic MS Word 2016 behavior. In some situations, for continuous and “new column” section breaks, the behavior of MS Word 2016 is different from MS Word 2013 or an earlier version when document is converted to fixed file formats e.g. PDF, XPS. It has changed the behavior of Aspose.Words to mimic MS Word 2016. The behavior has changed for computing page numbers and for providing an empty facing page when adjacent pages have the same oddity. It has added new property ScaleWmfFontsToMetafileSize in MetafileRenderingOptions class to control the scaling of fonts in WMF meta-file according to meta-file size on the page when redering document to fixed file format. This property is used only when meta-file is rendered as vector graphics. By default, Aspose.Words uses font family names from source document and writes to HTML. Starting from Aspose.Words 18.12, Users can resolve and substitute fonts according to FontSettings. Here is a look at just a few of the biggest features and API changes in this month’s release, Implemented WMF fonts scaling, according to metafile size on the page, and public option to control it. Improved the default font fallback mechanism to better fit the MW behavior, Optimized metafile from SVG rendering to skip redundant line segments, Fixed a bug that caused an exception when rendering metafiles filled with gradient, Fixed a bug with the order of legend items of the stacked DrawingML chart when rendering, Fixed a bug with text clipping when rendering the DrawingML charts, Fixed a bug with rendering of minor tick marks and clipping the rightmost bar of DrawingML charts, Fixed a bug with rendering data labels for points, located on the border of the DrawingML chart plot area, implemented support for RTL comments rendering, e.g. Arabic, Improved hyphenation logic for multiple cases, Improved page numbering for sections starting in new columns, Improved table row alignment, Improved tab stop calculations with paragraph indents, improved table breaking logic for numerous complex cases, improved handling of character compression within mixed ltr/rtl text, Fixed exception in rare case when field update causes line to contain only zero length spans, Fixed exception in rare case when floating object is pushed beyond empty columnm, Fixed layout when tables merge over the hidden paragraph andn many more.  The list of new and improved features added in this release are given below

For this purpose shape.setText() function is introduced which sets new text in the smart art shape. Data validation is done in variety of ways to control the input in the Excel file. Like limit can be defined for a cell within which some number can be entered, otherwise error message is raised. Issues were faced for validation of large numbers like 12345678901 etc. in the past but now this much large numbers are supported by Aspose.Cells. Aspose.Cells has introduced rendering active worksheet in a workbook to SVG. For this purpose load an Excel file into workbook object and set the active sheet index like for Sheet2, set index to 1. Then save the Workbook as SVG which will render active worksheet to SVG. There are some other enhancements included and a few exceptions handled in the new release for the users. A few of the worth mentioning features and other improvements includes wrong count of validation values is read from XLSX, Issue while treating consecutive delimiters as distinct, Date format is incorrect for Japanese locale, Aspose.Cells.GridWeb (Java) crashes when using it concurrently in a multi user environment and Resolving issues in getting actual chart size.

Render HTML with Scalable Column Width & Get Connection Points from Shapes using .NET

What’s new in this release?

Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for .NET 18.10. MS Excel file formats API that provides the ability to create, manipulate, convert or render MS Excel spreadsheets, and more importantly – is fully documented.

Simple features which become quite handy while working with a complex product are added like providing last saved time property for keeping track of changes etc. Depiction of data through HTML page is very common, however this page can be opened in a variety of devices including mobiles, tabs and other hand held devices which contain small screens. The size of the columns is defined in “pt” which works in many cases. However there can be case where this fixed size may not be required. For example, if container panel width is 600px where this HTML page is being displayed. In this case you may get horizontal scrollbar if the generated table width is bigger. This requirement is addressed by providing scalable units like em or percent for a better presentation. Empty tags are very common while working with HTML like we can face <td></td> or simply <td/>. Earlier self-closing tags were not supported however now this support is provided. Now you can load any HTML with self-closing tags and convert it to Excel file. Named regions can have English formulae and this file can be used in environments where  systems are configured to German locale. There is need to translate these English formulae completely to German language for correct usage in MS Excel configured for German language. This feature is fully functional and can be used without any extra coding. MS Excel provides custom filters like filter rows which begins with and ends with some specific string. This feature is available in Aspose.Cells and demonstrated by providing working examples.  Aspose.Cells provide rich features to manage shapes in the spreadsheet. Sometimes there is need to get the connection points of a shape for aligning or placing the shapes at appropriate place. For this purpose all the connection points are required. Following code can be used to get the list of connection points of a shape where Shape.GetConnectionPoints() function is used.  There are some other enhancements included and a few exceptions handled in the new release for the users. A few of the worth mentioning features and other improvements , such as Using preferred parser and Handled an exception which occurred when loading an Excel file.  In Aspose.Cells 18.10, we fixed several important bugs and other issues. For example, issues around reading/writing MS Excel file formats, applying data filtering, manipulating OLE Objects, reading/writing HTML files, manipulating List Objects/Tables, applying auto-fit rows/columns, formatting cells, Smart Markers, manipulating document properties, rendering and manipulating charts and shapes, rendering images from Excel worksheets, rendering images files from charts and exporting Excel workbooks to PDF format have been resolved in the release.
