PDF Chart Creation with Desired Page Size & Rotate Text with Shape inside the Worksheet using Java

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for Java 18.4. This release includes many new features and enhancements along with some critical bug fixes that further improve the overall stability of the APIs. It also recommends Aspose clients to use the powerful Aspose for Java APIs directly in their Maven Projects with simple configurations. Developers can create chart’s PDF file with desired page size using Aspose.Cells and specify how users want to align the chart inside the page as top, bottom, center, left, right etc. Besides this, the output chart can be created in stream or on disk. Please see the article on blog announcement page for more detail on this topic. Users can add text inside any shape using Microsoft Excel. If users add shape using the older Microsoft Excel 2003, then text will not rotate with shape. But if adds shape using newer versions of Microsoft Excel e.g. 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016 etc. then text will be rotated with shape. Users can control if the text should rotate with shape or not using the ShapeTextAlignment.RotateTextWithShape property. When users apply auto filter on worksheet cells, then some of the rows get hidden automatically. But it might be the case that some of the rows are already hidden manually by MS Excel end user and they are not hidden by auto filter feature. It therefore makes difficult to know which of the rows are hidden by auto filter and which rows are hidden manually by MS Excel end user. Aspose.Cells deals with this problem using the int[] AutoFilter.refresh(boolean hideRows) method. This method returns the row indices of all the rows that are hidden by auto filter and not by manual way in MS Excel. When users apply auto filter on worksheet cells, then some of the rows get hidden automatically. But it might be the case that some of the rows are already hidden manually by MS Excel end user and they are not hidden by auto filter feature. It therefore makes difficult to know which of the rows are hidden by auto filter and which rows are hidden manually by MS Excel end user. Aspose.Cells deals with this problem using the int[] AutoFilter.refresh(boolean hideRows) method. This method returns the row indices of all the rows that are hidden by auto filter and not by manual way in MS Excel. Sometime, users want to know the type of X and Y values of chart points in a series. Aspose.Cells provides ChartPoint.XValueType and ChartPoint.YValueType properties that can be used for this purpose. Please note, users will have to call Chart.calculate() method before users could use these properties effectively. Aspose.Cells returns the HTML string of the cell using the string Cell.getHtmlString (boolean html5) method. If users pass “false” as parameter, it will return users Normal HTML but if users pass “true” as parameter, it will return Html5 string. When users save your MS Excel file to HTML, users can specify different cross types for cell strings. By default, Aspose.Cells generates HTML as per Microsoft Excel but when users change cross type to CrossHideRight then it hides all the strings from the right side of the cell which are overlaid or overlapping with cell string. Users can change the Language of MS Excel file by right clicking the file and then selecting Properties > Details and then editing the Language field. Please use BuiltInDocumentPropertyCollection.Language property to change it programmatically using Aspose.Cells APIs.  Below are some important new features, enhancement and bug fixes part of this release.

• Use FIPS compliant version of Bouncy Castle in Aspose.Cells APIs
• Formula should not contain more than 8192 characters
• Unable to access horizontal category axis labels items of Chart in XLS
• Get/set Language document property
• Foreground color vs Background color vs Fill color - Use a single method that takes two arguments
• "<Font>" is not a valid HTML5 and self-closing tag and web browsers misrepresent its contents
• Insert SVG image type into worksheet cells by Aspose.Cells
• Some shapes are not correct in the output PDF
• Conditional formatting is lost while saving Excel to HTML
• Output HTML does not match with MS-Excel
• Links to named area are wrong after export to HTML
• Pivot Tables and corresponding Charts do not have correct Date format
• Chart has many values in x-axis and values are overlapping over each othe
• Aspose.Cells returns wrong value of cell A2
• XML map does not create table properly
• Get/extract values (0 for 0 and blank for blank) using DataPoint.getYValue() method for a given chart
• Inversion of subtitles (legend entries) in MS Excel chart
• Arrows are missing in PNG output of Excel Chart
• Java method 'Shape.toImage' works differently with the same method in .NET
• Aspose.Cells 18.3 rotation for a TextBox is not working for EXCEL_97_TO_2003 save format
• Blank new line appears inside the TextBox after processing and saving the Excel file

Other most recent bug fixes are also included in this release

Spatial Reference Systems Support, Working with WKT & Create Vector Layer with SRS using .NET

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.GIS for .NET 18.4. This month’s release brings exciting new feature of spatial reference system implementation for geo-spatial objects. The API allows to apply spatial reference system to vector layers as well as geometrical objects. This month’s release introduces a new feature for supporting Spatial Reference Systems (SRS). After the launch of this API, this is the first time it has implemented support for SRS. THE API not only lets users create new Datums but also generate new SRS with Custom parameters. Well-known text (WKT) is a text markup language for representing vector geometry objects on a map, spatial reference systems of spatial objects and transformations between spatial reference systems. Aspose.GIS API lets users create Spatial Reference System from WKT as well as export an existing SRS to WKT format. The sample code on blog announcement page shows how to create SRS from WKT. Users can also use the API to create a vector layer with SRS. The ProjectedSpatialReferenceSystemParameters lets users define the parameters for the SRS which are then used while creating new vector layer. In addition to creating vector layer with SRS, users can also set SRS for a Geometry like Point, Line, etc. The SpatialReferenceSystem property of Geometry objects let users set the SRS for the specified shape. In such case, child objects take the SRS of parent while parent’s object SRS is set to child’s on first point addition. The list of new and enhanced features are listed bellow

• Spatial reference systems support
• Convert between spatial reference systems
• Fix IGeometry methods visibility

Clone PDF TextFragments with Identical Formatting & Determining Line Break Process using .NET

What's New in this Release?

Aspose team is very excited to announce the new version of Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.4. In particular scenarios of PDF generations, sometimes you may come up with a requirement to identify the points/positions where an Enter/Line Break was added to create new line or contents of a line were moved to subsequent line after content reaching to the edge of the page. We have implemented logging (tracking) background processing (line breaking) of multi-line text fragments in text adding scenarios. You can use GetNotifications(), a new method of Page Class in order to achieve the functionality. An example of such functionality has been provided in API documentation section.  Since it has already planned to improve the feature to support of such scenarios, Aspose team is working over adding the functionalities for editing existing PDF documents and hopes to provide more enhancements in API regarding this feature in upcoming versions. For now, only notifications about paragraph events in text adding scenarios are supported. One of the interesting enhancements in Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.4 is, users can clone a TextFragment with segments formatting identical to the original fragment. Users can use TextFragment.Clone() method in order to achieve this.  The list of important new and improved features are given below

• Determine the line break scenario
• Text shadow indent is different when saving as HTML
• Update TextFragment clone procedure for segments formatting support
• Text is aligned to left instead of being aligned to right (Convert Hebrew PDF to HTML)
