Property Getters/Setters Detail

• getAllowOverlap/setAllowOverlap

  public boolean getAllowOverlap() / public void setAllowOverlap(boolean value)
  

  Gets or sets a value that specifies whether this shape can overlap other shapes.

  This property affects behavior of the shape in Microsoft Word. Aspose.Words ignores the value of this property.

  This property is applicable only to top level shapes.

  The default value is true.

  Example:

  Shows how to work with floating tables properties.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Table wrapped by text.docx");
  
  Table table = (Table) doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true);
  
  if (table.getTextWrapping() == TextWrapping.AROUND) {
      Assert.assertEquals(TextWrapping.AROUND, table.getTextWrapping());
      Assert.assertEquals(RelativeHorizontalPosition.MARGIN, table.getHorizontalAnchor());
      Assert.assertEquals(RelativeVerticalPosition.PARAGRAPH, table.getVerticalAnchor());
      Assert.assertEquals(false, table.getAllowOverlap());
  
      // Only Margin, Page, Column available in RelativeHorizontalPosition for HorizontalAnchor setter
      // The ArgumentException will be thrown for any other values
      table.setHorizontalAnchor(RelativeHorizontalPosition.COLUMN);
      // Only Margin, Page, Paragraph available in RelativeVerticalPosition for VerticalAnchor setter
      // The ArgumentException will be thrown for any other values
      table.setVerticalAnchor(RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE);
  
  }

• getAlternativeText/setAlternativeText

  public java.lang.String getAlternativeText() / public void setAlternativeText(java.lang.String value)
  

  Defines alternative text to be displayed instead of a graphic.

  The default value is an empty string.

  Example:

  Shows how to insert shapes.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Insert a cube and set its name
  Shape shape = builder.insertShape(ShapeType.CUBE, 150.0, 150.0);
  shape.setName("MyCube");
  
  // We can also set the alt text like this
  // This text will be found in Format AutoShape > Alt Text
  shape.setAlternativeText("Alt text for MyCube.");
  
  // Insert a text box
  shape = builder.insertShape(ShapeType.TEXT_BOX, 300.0, 50.0);
  shape.getFont().setName("Times New Roman");
  
  // Move the builder into the text box and write text
  builder.moveTo(shape.getLastParagraph());
  builder.write("Hello world!");
  
  // Move the builder out of the text box back into the main document
  builder.moveTo(shape.getParentParagraph());
  
  // Insert a shape with an image
  shape = builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");
  Assert.assertTrue(shape.canHaveImage());
  Assert.assertTrue(shape.hasImage());
  
  // Rotate the image
  shape.setRotation(45.0);
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Shape.Insert.docx");

• getAnchorLocked/setAnchorLocked

  public boolean getAnchorLocked() / public void setAnchorLocked(boolean value)
  

  Specifies whether the shape's anchor is locked.

  The default value is false.

  Has effect only for top level shapes.

  This property affects behavior of the shape's anchor in Microsoft Word. When the anchor is not locked, moving the shape in Microsoft Word can move the shape's anchor too.

  Example:

  Shows how to create and work with a group of shapes.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  GroupShape group = new GroupShape(doc);
  
  // Every GroupShape by default is a top level floating shape
  Assert.assertTrue(group.isGroup());
  Assert.assertTrue(group.isTopLevel());
  Assert.assertEquals(WrapType.NONE, group.getWrapType());
  
  // Top level shapes can have this property changed
  group.setAnchorLocked(true);
  
  // Set the XY coordinates of the shape group and the size of its containing block, as it appears on the page
  group.setBounds(new Rectangle2D.Float(100f, 50f, 200f, 100f));
  
  // Set the scale of the inner coordinates of the shape group
  // These values mean that the bottom right corner of the 200x100 outer block we set before
  // will be at x = 2000 and y = 1000, or 2000 units from the left and 1000 units from the top
  group.setCoordSize(new Dimension(2000, 1000));
  
  // The coordinate origin of a shape group is x = 0, y = 0 by default, which is the top left corner
  // If we insert a child shape and set its distance from the left to 2000 and the distance from the top to 1000,
  // its origin will be at the bottom right corner of the shape group
  // We can offset the coordinate origin by setting the CoordOrigin attribute
  // In this instance, we move the origin to the centre of the shape group
  group.setCoordOrigin(new Point(-1000, -500));
  
  // Populate the shape group with child shapes
  // First, insert a rectangle
  Shape subShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.RECTANGLE);
  subShape.setWidth(500.0);
  subShape.setHeight(700.0);
  
  // Place its top left corner at the parent group's coordinate origin, which is currently at its centre
  subShape.setLeft(0.0);
  subShape.setTop(0.0);
  
  // Add the rectangle to the group
  group.appendChild(subShape);
  
  // Insert a triangle
  subShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TRIANGLE);
  subShape.setWidth(400.0);
  subShape.setHeight(400.0);
  
  // Place its origin at the bottom right corner of the group
  subShape.setLeft(1000.0);
  subShape.setTop(500.0);
  
  // The offset between this child shape and parent group can be seen here
  Assert.assertEquals(subShape.localToParent(new Point2D.Float(0f, 0f)), new Point2D.Float(1000f, 500f));
  
  // Add the triangle to the group
  group.appendChild(subShape);
  
  // Child shapes of a group shape are not top level
  Assert.assertFalse(subShape.isTopLevel());
  
  // Finally, insert the group into the document and save
  builder.insertNode(group);
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Shape.InsertGroupShape.docx");

• getAspectRatioLocked/setAspectRatioLocked

  public boolean getAspectRatioLocked() / public void setAspectRatioLocked(boolean value)
  

  Specifies whether the shape's aspect ratio is locked.

  The default value depends on the ShapeType, for the ShapeType.Image it is true but for the other shape types it is false.

  Has effect for top level shapes only.

  Example:

  Shows how to set "AspectRatioLocked" for the shape object.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "ActiveX controls.docx");
  
  // Get shape object from the document and set AspectRatioLocked(it is possible to get/set AspectRatioLocked for child shapes (mimic MS Word behavior), 
  // but AspectRatioLocked has effect only for top level shapes!)
  Shape shape = (Shape) doc.getChild(NodeType.SHAPE, 0, true);
  shape.setAspectRatioLocked(isLocked);

• getBehindText/setBehindText

  public boolean getBehindText() / public void setBehindText(boolean value)
  

  Specifies whether the shape is below or above text.

  Has effect only for top level shapes.

  The default value is false.

  Example:

  Shows how to insert a floating image in the middle of a page.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // By default, the image is inline
  Shape shape = builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");
  
  // Make the image float, put it behind text and center on the page
  shape.setWrapType(WrapType.NONE);
  shape.setBehindText(true);
  shape.setRelativeHorizontalPosition(RelativeHorizontalPosition.PAGE);
  shape.setRelativeVerticalPosition(RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE);
  shape.setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.CENTER);
  shape.setVerticalAlignment(VerticalAlignment.CENTER);
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Image.CreateFloatingPageCenter.docx");

  ZOrder

• getBottom

  public double getBottom()
  

  Gets the position of the bottom edge of the containing block of the shape.

  For a top-level shape, the value is in points and relative to the shape anchor.

  For shapes in a group, the value is in the coordinate space and units of the parent group.

  Example:

  Shows how to insert a floating image and specify its position and size.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // By default, the image is inline
  Shape shape = builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");
  
  // Make the image float, put it behind text and center on the page
  shape.setWrapType(WrapType.NONE);
  
  // Make position relative to the page
  shape.setRelativeHorizontalPosition(RelativeHorizontalPosition.PAGE);
  shape.setRelativeVerticalPosition(RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE);
  
  // Set the shape's coordinates, from the top left corner of the page
  shape.setLeft(100.0);
  shape.setTop(80.0);
  
  // Set the shape's height
  shape.setHeight(125.0);
  
  // The width will be scaled to the height and the dimensions of the real image
  Assert.assertEquals(shape.getWidth(), 125.0);
  
  // The Bottom and Right members contain the locations of the bottom and right edges of the image
  Assert.assertEquals(shape.getBottom(), shape.getTop() + shape.getHeight());
  Assert.assertEquals(shape.getRight(), shape.getLeft() + shape.getWidth());
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Image.CreateFloatingPositionSize.docx");

• getBounds/setBounds

  public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Float getBounds() / public void setBounds(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Float value)
  

  Gets or sets the location and size of the containing block of the shape.

  Ignores aspect ratio lock upon setting.

  For a top-level shape, the value is in points and relative to the shape anchor.

  For shapes in a group, the value is in the coordinate space and units of the parent group.

  Example:

  Shows how to create line shapes and set specific location and size.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // The lines will cross the whole page
  float pageWidth = (float) doc.getFirstSection().getPageSetup().getPageWidth();
  float pageHeight = (float) doc.getFirstSection().getPageSetup().getPageHeight();
  
  // This line goes from top left to bottom right by default
  Shape lineA = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.LINE);
  {
      lineA.setBounds(new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, pageWidth, pageHeight));
      lineA.setRelativeHorizontalPosition(RelativeHorizontalPosition.PAGE);
      lineA.setRelativeVerticalPosition(RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE);
  }
  
  Assert.assertEquals(new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, pageWidth, pageHeight), lineA.getBoundsInPoints());
  
  // This line goes from bottom left to top right because we flipped it
  Shape lineB = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.LINE);
  {
      lineB.setBounds(new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, pageWidth, pageHeight));
      lineB.setFlipOrientation(FlipOrientation.HORIZONTAL);
      lineB.setRelativeHorizontalPosition(RelativeHorizontalPosition.PAGE);
      lineB.setRelativeVerticalPosition(RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE);
  }
  
  Assert.assertEquals(new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, pageWidth, pageHeight), lineB.getBoundsInPoints());
  
  // Add lines to the document
  doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(lineA);
  doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(lineB);
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Shape.LineFlipOrientation.docx");

• getBoundsInPoints

  public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Float getBoundsInPoints()
  

  Gets the location and size of the containing block of the shape in points, relative to the anchor of the topmost shape.

  Example:

  Shows how to create line shapes and set specific location and size.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // The lines will cross the whole page
  float pageWidth = (float) doc.getFirstSection().getPageSetup().getPageWidth();
  float pageHeight = (float) doc.getFirstSection().getPageSetup().getPageHeight();
  
  // This line goes from top left to bottom right by default
  Shape lineA = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.LINE);
  {
      lineA.setBounds(new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, pageWidth, pageHeight));
      lineA.setRelativeHorizontalPosition(RelativeHorizontalPosition.PAGE);
      lineA.setRelativeVerticalPosition(RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE);
  }
  
  Assert.assertEquals(new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, pageWidth, pageHeight), lineA.getBoundsInPoints());
  
  // This line goes from bottom left to top right because we flipped it
  Shape lineB = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.LINE);
  {
      lineB.setBounds(new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, pageWidth, pageHeight));
      lineB.setFlipOrientation(FlipOrientation.HORIZONTAL);
      lineB.setRelativeHorizontalPosition(RelativeHorizontalPosition.PAGE);
      lineB.setRelativeVerticalPosition(RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE);
  }
  
  Assert.assertEquals(new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, pageWidth, pageHeight), lineB.getBoundsInPoints());
  
  // Add lines to the document
  doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(lineA);
  doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(lineB);

• getBoundsWithEffects

  public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Float getBoundsWithEffects()
  

  Gets final extent that this shape object has after applying drawing effects. Value is measured in points.

  Example:

  Shows how to check how a shape's bounds are affected by shape effects.

  // Open a document that contains two shapes and get its shape collection
  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Shape shadow effect.docx");
  NodeCollection shapes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true);
  Assert.assertEquals(shapes.getCount(), 2);
  
  Shape firstShape = (Shape) shapes.get(0);
  Shape secondShape = (Shape) shapes.get(1);
  
  // The two shapes are identical in terms of dimensions and shape type
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getWidth(), firstShape.getWidth());
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getHeight(), firstShape.getHeight());
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getShapeType(), firstShape.getShapeType());
  
  // However, the first shape has no effects, while the second one has a shadow and thick outline
  Assert.assertEquals(firstShape.getStrokeWeight(), 0.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getStrokeWeight(), 20.0);
  Assert.assertFalse(firstShape.getShadowEnabled());
  Assert.assertTrue(secondShape.getShadowEnabled());
  
  // These effects make the size of the second shape's silhouette bigger than that of the first
  // Even though the size of the rectangle that shows up when we click on these shapes in Microsoft Word is the same,
  // the practical outer bounds of the second shape are affected by the shadow and outline and are bigger
  // We can use the AdjustWithEffects method to see exactly how much bigger they are
  
  // Create a RectangleF object, which represents a rectangle, which we could potentially use as the coordinates and bounds for a shape
  Rectangle2D.Float rectangleF = new Rectangle2D.Float(200f, 200f, 1000f, 1000f);
  
  // Run this method to get the size of the rectangle adjusted for all of our shape's effects
  Rectangle2D.Float rectangleFOut = firstShape.adjustWithEffects(rectangleF);
  
  // Since the shape has no border-changing effects, its boundary dimensions are unaffected
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getX(), 200.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getY(), 200.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getWidth(), 1000.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getHeight(), 1000.0);
  
  // The final extent of the first shape, in points
  Assert.assertEquals(firstShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getX(), 0.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(firstShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getY(), 0.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(firstShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getWidth(), 147.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(firstShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getHeight(), 147.0);
  
  // Do the same with the second shape
  rectangleF = new Rectangle2D.Float(200f, 200f, 1000f, 1000f);
  rectangleFOut = secondShape.adjustWithEffects(rectangleF);
  
  // The shape's x/y coordinates (top left corner location) have been pushed back by the thick outline
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getX(), 171.5);
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getY(), 167.0);
  
  // The width and height were also affected by the outline and shadow
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getWidth(), 1045.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getHeight(), 1132.0);
  
  // These values are also affected by effects
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getX(), -28.5);
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getY(), -33.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getWidth(), 192.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getHeight(), 279.0);

• canHaveImage

  public boolean canHaveImage()
  

  Returns true if the shape type allows the shape to have an image.

  Although Microsoft Word has a special shape type for images, it appears that in Microsoft Word documents any shape except a group shape can have an image, therefore this property returns true for all shapes except GroupShape.

  Example:

  Shows how to insert shapes.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Insert a cube and set its name
  Shape shape = builder.insertShape(ShapeType.CUBE, 150.0, 150.0);
  shape.setName("MyCube");
  
  // We can also set the alt text like this
  // This text will be found in Format AutoShape > Alt Text
  shape.setAlternativeText("Alt text for MyCube.");
  
  // Insert a text box
  shape = builder.insertShape(ShapeType.TEXT_BOX, 300.0, 50.0);
  shape.getFont().setName("Times New Roman");
  
  // Move the builder into the text box and write text
  builder.moveTo(shape.getLastParagraph());
  builder.write("Hello world!");
  
  // Move the builder out of the text box back into the main document
  builder.moveTo(shape.getParentParagraph());
  
  // Insert a shape with an image
  shape = builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");
  Assert.assertTrue(shape.canHaveImage());
  Assert.assertTrue(shape.hasImage());
  
  // Rotate the image
  shape.setRotation(45.0);
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Shape.Insert.docx");

• getChildNodes

  public NodeCollection getChildNodes()
  

  Gets all immediate child nodes of this node.

  Note, ChildNodes is equivalent to calling GetChildNodes(NodeType.Any, false) and creates and returns a new collection every time it is accessed.

  If there are no child nodes, this property returns an empty collection.

  Example:

  Shows how to enumerate immediate children of a CompositeNode using the enumerator provided by the ChildNodes collection.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 0, true);
  paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
  paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, " Hello again!"));
  
  NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes();
  
  // Paragraph may contain children of various types such as runs, shapes and so on
  for (Node child : (Iterable<Node>) children)
      if (((child.getNodeType()) == (NodeType.RUN))) {
          Run run = (Run) child;
          System.out.println(run.getText());
      }

• getCoordOrigin/setCoordOrigin

  public java.awt.Point getCoordOrigin() / public void setCoordOrigin(java.awt.Point value)
  

  The coordinates at the top-left corner of the containing block of this shape.

  The default value is (0,0).

  Example:

  Shows how to create and work with a group of shapes.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  GroupShape group = new GroupShape(doc);
  
  // Every GroupShape by default is a top level floating shape
  Assert.assertTrue(group.isGroup());
  Assert.assertTrue(group.isTopLevel());
  Assert.assertEquals(WrapType.NONE, group.getWrapType());
  
  // Top level shapes can have this property changed
  group.setAnchorLocked(true);
  
  // Set the XY coordinates of the shape group and the size of its containing block, as it appears on the page
  group.setBounds(new Rectangle2D.Float(100f, 50f, 200f, 100f));
  
  // Set the scale of the inner coordinates of the shape group
  // These values mean that the bottom right corner of the 200x100 outer block we set before
  // will be at x = 2000 and y = 1000, or 2000 units from the left and 1000 units from the top
  group.setCoordSize(new Dimension(2000, 1000));
  
  // The coordinate origin of a shape group is x = 0, y = 0 by default, which is the top left corner
  // If we insert a child shape and set its distance from the left to 2000 and the distance from the top to 1000,
  // its origin will be at the bottom right corner of the shape group
  // We can offset the coordinate origin by setting the CoordOrigin attribute
  // In this instance, we move the origin to the centre of the shape group
  group.setCoordOrigin(new Point(-1000, -500));
  
  // Populate the shape group with child shapes
  // First, insert a rectangle
  Shape subShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.RECTANGLE);
  subShape.setWidth(500.0);
  subShape.setHeight(700.0);
  
  // Place its top left corner at the parent group's coordinate origin, which is currently at its centre
  subShape.setLeft(0.0);
  subShape.setTop(0.0);
  
  // Add the rectangle to the group
  group.appendChild(subShape);
  
  // Insert a triangle
  subShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TRIANGLE);
  subShape.setWidth(400.0);
  subShape.setHeight(400.0);
  
  // Place its origin at the bottom right corner of the group
  subShape.setLeft(1000.0);
  subShape.setTop(500.0);
  
  // The offset between this child shape and parent group can be seen here
  Assert.assertEquals(subShape.localToParent(new Point2D.Float(0f, 0f)), new Point2D.Float(1000f, 500f));
  
  // Add the triangle to the group
  group.appendChild(subShape);
  
  // Child shapes of a group shape are not top level
  Assert.assertFalse(subShape.isTopLevel());
  
  // Finally, insert the group into the document and save
  builder.insertNode(group);
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Shape.InsertGroupShape.docx");

  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  GroupShape group = new GroupShape(doc);
  
  // Every GroupShape by default is a top level floating shape
  Assert.assertTrue(group.isGroup());
  Assert.assertTrue(group.isTopLevel());
  Assert.assertEquals(WrapType.NONE, group.getWrapType());
  
  // Top level shapes can have this property changed
  group.setAnchorLocked(true);
  
  // Set the XY coordinates of the shape group and the size of its containing block, as it appears on the page
  group.setBounds(new Rectangle2D.Float(100f, 50f, 200f, 100f));
  
  // Set the scale of the inner coordinates of the shape group
  // These values mean that the bottom right corner of the 200x100 outer block we set before
  // will be at x = 2000 and y = 1000, or 2000 units from the left and 1000 units from the top
  group.setCoordSize(new Dimension(2000, 1000));
  
  // The coordinate origin of a shape group is x = 0, y = 0 by default, which is the top left corner

  Assert.assertFalse(subShape.isTopLevel());
  
  // Finally, insert the group into the document and save
  builder.insertNode(group);
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Shape.InsertGroupShape.docx");

• getCount

  public int getCount()
  

  Gets the number of immediate children of this node.

  Example:

  Shows how to add, update and delete child nodes from a CompositeNode's child collection.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // An empty document has one paragraph by default
  Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().getCount());
  
  // A paragraph is a composite node because it can contain runs, which are another type of node
  Paragraph paragraph = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();
  Run paragraphText = new Run(doc, "Initial text. ");
  paragraph.appendChild(paragraphText);
  
  // We will place these 3 children into the main text of our paragraph
  Run run1 = new Run(doc, "Run 1. ");
  Run run2 = new Run(doc, "Run 2. ");
  Run run3 = new Run(doc, "Run 3. ");
  
  // We initialized them but not in our paragraph yet
  Assert.assertEquals("Initial text.", paragraph.getText().trim());
  
  // Insert run2 before initial paragraph text. This will be at the start of the paragraph
  paragraph.insertBefore(run2, paragraphText);
  
  // Insert run3 after initial paragraph text. This will be at the end of the paragraph
  paragraph.insertAfter(run3, paragraphText);
  
  // Insert run1 before every other child node. run2 was the start of the paragraph, now it will be run1
  paragraph.prependChild(run1);

• getZOrder/setZOrder

  public int getZOrder() / public void setZOrder(int value)
  

  Determines the display order of overlapping shapes.

  Has effect only for top level shapes.

  The default value is 0.

  The number represents the stacking precedence. A shape with a higher number will be displayed as if it were overlapping (in "front" of) a shape with a lower number.

  The order of overlapping shapes is independent for shapes in the header and in the main text of the document.

  The display order of child shapes in a group shape is determined by their order inside the group shape.

  Example:

  Shows how to create a textbox with some text and different formatting options in a new document.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // Create a new shape of type TextBox
  Shape textBox = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TEXT_BOX);
  
  // Set some settings of the textbox itself
  // Set the wrap of the textbox to inline
  textBox.setWrapType(WrapType.NONE);
  // Set the horizontal and vertical alignment of the text inside the shape
  textBox.setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.CENTER);
  textBox.setVerticalAlignment(VerticalAlignment.TOP);
  
  // Set the textbox height and width
  textBox.setHeight(50.0);
  textBox.setWidth(200.0);
  
  // Set the textbox in front of other shapes with a lower ZOrder
  textBox.setZOrder(2);
  
  // Let's create a new paragraph for the textbox manually and align it in the center
  // Make sure we add the new nodes to the textbox as well
  textBox.appendChild(new Paragraph(doc));
  Paragraph para = textBox.getFirstParagraph();
  para.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
  
  // Add some text to the paragraph
  Run run = new Run(doc);
  run.setText("Hello world!");
  para.appendChild(run);
  
  // Append the textbox to the first paragraph in the body
  doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(textBox);
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Shape.CreateTextBox.docx");

Method Detail

• accept

  public abstract boolean accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)
                              throws java.lang.Exception

  Accepts a visitor.

  Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.

  For more info see the Visitor design pattern.

  Parameters:

  visitor - The visitor that will visit the nodes.

  Returns:

  True if all nodes were visited; false if DocumentVisitor stopped the operation before visiting all nodes.

• adjustWithEffects

  public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Float adjustWithEffects(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Float source)

  Adds to the source rectangle values of the effect extent and returns the final rectangle.

  Example:

  Shows how to check how a shape's bounds are affected by shape effects.

  // Open a document that contains two shapes and get its shape collection
  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Shape shadow effect.docx");
  NodeCollection shapes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true);
  Assert.assertEquals(shapes.getCount(), 2);
  
  Shape firstShape = (Shape) shapes.get(0);
  Shape secondShape = (Shape) shapes.get(1);
  
  // The two shapes are identical in terms of dimensions and shape type
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getWidth(), firstShape.getWidth());
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getHeight(), firstShape.getHeight());
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getShapeType(), firstShape.getShapeType());
  
  // However, the first shape has no effects, while the second one has a shadow and thick outline
  Assert.assertEquals(firstShape.getStrokeWeight(), 0.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getStrokeWeight(), 20.0);
  Assert.assertFalse(firstShape.getShadowEnabled());
  Assert.assertTrue(secondShape.getShadowEnabled());
  
  // These effects make the size of the second shape's silhouette bigger than that of the first
  // Even though the size of the rectangle that shows up when we click on these shapes in Microsoft Word is the same,
  // the practical outer bounds of the second shape are affected by the shadow and outline and are bigger
  // We can use the AdjustWithEffects method to see exactly how much bigger they are
  
  // Create a RectangleF object, which represents a rectangle, which we could potentially use as the coordinates and bounds for a shape
  Rectangle2D.Float rectangleF = new Rectangle2D.Float(200f, 200f, 1000f, 1000f);
  
  // Run this method to get the size of the rectangle adjusted for all of our shape's effects
  Rectangle2D.Float rectangleFOut = firstShape.adjustWithEffects(rectangleF);
  
  // Since the shape has no border-changing effects, its boundary dimensions are unaffected
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getX(), 200.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getY(), 200.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(rectangleFOut.getWidth(), 1000.0);

  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getWidth(), 192.0);
  Assert.assertEquals(secondShape.getBoundsWithEffects().getHeight(), 279.0);

• appendChild

  public Node appendChild(Node newChild)

  Adds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes for this node.

  If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

  If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use DocumentBase.importNode(com.aspose.words.Node,boolean,int) to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

  Parameters:

  newChild - The node to add.

  Returns:

  The node added.

  Example:

  Shows how to construct an Aspose Words document node by node.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // A newly created blank document still comes one section, one body and one paragraph
  // Calling this method will remove all those nodes to completely empty the document
  doc.removeAllChildren();
  
  // This document now has no composite nodes that content can be added to
  // If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection,
  // which we will start to do with by creating a new Section node
  Section section = new Section(doc);
  
  // Append the section to the document
  doc.appendChild(section);
  
  // Lets set some properties for the section
  section.getPageSetup().setSectionStart(SectionStart.NEW_PAGE);
  section.getPageSetup().setPaperSize(PaperSize.LETTER);
  
  // A section needs a body, which will contain all other nodes that can be edited
  Body body = new Body(doc);
  section.appendChild(body);
  
  // The body needs to have at least one paragraph
  // Note that the paragraph has not yet been added to the document, but we have to specify the parent document
  // The parent document is needed so the paragraph can correctly work
  // with styles and other document-wide information
  Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
  body.appendChild(para);
  
  // We can set some formatting for the paragraph
  para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");
  para.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
  
  // Now we can begin adding content to the document
  Run run = new Run(doc);
  run.setText("Hello World!");
  run.getFont().setColor(Color.RED);
  para.appendChild(run);
  
  Assert.assertEquals("Hello World!" + ControlChar.SECTION_BREAK_CHAR, doc.getText());
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Section.CreateFromScratch.docx");

• deepClone

  public Node deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)

  Creates a duplicate of the node.

  This method serves as a copy constructor for nodes. The cloned node has no parent, but belongs to the same document as the original node.

  This method always performs a deep copy of the node. The isCloneChildren parameter specifies whether to perform copy all child nodes as well.

  Parameters:

  isCloneChildren - True to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself.

  Returns:

  The cloned node.

  Example:

  Shows how to clone composite nodes with and without their child nodes.

  Document doc = new Document();
  Paragraph para = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();
  para.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
  
  // Clone the paragraph and the child nodes
  Node cloneWithChildren = para.deepClone(true);
  
  Assert.assertTrue(((CompositeNode) cloneWithChildren).hasChildNodes());
  Assert.assertEquals("Hello world!", cloneWithChildren.getText().trim());
  
  // Clone the paragraph without its clild nodes
  Node cloneWithoutChildren = para.deepClone(false);
  
  Assert.assertFalse(((CompositeNode) cloneWithoutChildren).hasChildNodes());
  Assert.assertEquals("", cloneWithoutChildren.getText().trim());

• getChild

  public Node getChild(int nodeType, int index, boolean isDeep)

  Returns an Nth child node that matches the specified type.

  If index is out of range, a null is returned.

  Note that markup nodes (NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG and NodeType.SMART_TAG) are traversed even when isDeep = false and GetChild is invoked for non-markup node type. For example if the first run in a para is wrapped in a StructuredDocumentTag, it will still be returned by GetChild(NodeType.Run, 0, false).

  Parameters:

  nodeType - A NodeType value. Specifies the type of the child node.

  index - Zero based index of the child node to select. Negative indexes are also allowed and indicate access from the end, that is -1 means the last node.

  isDeep - True to select from all child nodes recursively. False to select only among immediate children. See remarks for more info.

  Returns:

  The child node that matches the criteria or null if no matching node is found.

  Example:

  Shows how to apply attributes of a table's style directly to the table's elements.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  Table table = builder.startTable();
  builder.insertCell();
  builder.write("Hello world!");
  builder.endTable();
  
  TableStyle tableStyle = (TableStyle)doc.getStyles().add(StyleType.TABLE, "MyTableStyle1");
  tableStyle.setRowStripe(3);
  tableStyle.setCellSpacing(5.0);
  tableStyle.getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.WHITE);
  tableStyle.getBorders().setColor(Color.BLUE);
  tableStyle.getBorders().setLineStyle(LineStyle.DOT_DASH);
  
  table.setStyle(tableStyle);
  
  // This method concerns table style attributes such as the ones we set above.
  doc.expandTableStylesToDirectFormatting();
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.TableStyleToDirectFormatting.docx");

  Example:

  Shows how to enumerate immediate children of a CompositeNode using the enumerator provided by the ChildNodes collection.

  paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
  paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, " Hello again!"));
  
  NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes();
  
  // Paragraph may contain children of various types such as runs, shapes and so on
  for (Node child : (Iterable<Node>) children)
      if (((child.getNodeType()) == (NodeType.RUN))) {
          Run run = (Run) child;
          System.out.println(run.getText());
      }

• getChildNodes

  public NodeCollection getChildNodes(int nodeType, boolean isDeep)

  Returns a live collection of child nodes that match the specified type.

  The collection of nodes returned by this method is always live.

  A live collection is always in sync with the document. For example, if you selected all sections in a document and enumerate through the collection deleting the sections, the section is removed from the collection immediately when it is removed from the document.

  Parameters:

  nodeType - A NodeType value. Specifies the type of nodes to select.

  isDeep - True to select from all child nodes recursively. False to select only among immediate children.

  Returns:

  A live collection of child nodes of the specified type.

  Example:

  Shows how to print all of a document's comments and their replies.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Comments.docx");
  
  NodeCollection comments = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.COMMENT, true);
  
  // If a comment has no ancestor, it is a "top-level" comment as opposed to a reply-type comment.
  // Print all top-level comments along with their replies, if there are any.
  for (Comment comment : (Iterable<Comment>) comments)
  {
      if (comment.getAncestor() == null) {
          System.out.println("Top-level comment:");
          System.out.println("\t\"{comment.GetText().Trim()}\", by {comment.Author}");
          System.out.println("Has {comment.Replies.Count} replies");
          for (Comment commentReply : (Iterable<Comment>) comment.getReplies()) {
              System.out.println("\t\"{commentReply.GetText().Trim()}\", by {commentReply.Author}");
          }
          System.out.println();
      }
  }

  Example:

  Shows how to extract images from a document, and save them to the local file system as individual files.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.docx");
  
  // Get the collection of shapes from the document,
  // and save the image data of every shape with an image as a file to the local file system.
  NodeCollection shapes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true);
  
  int imageIndex = 0;
  for (Shape shape : (Iterable<Shape>) shapes) {
      if (shape.hasImage()) {
          // The image data of shapes may contain images of many possible image formats. 
          // We can determine a file extension for each image automatically, based on its format.
          String imageFileName = MessageFormat.format("File.ExtractImages.{0}{1}", imageIndex, FileFormatUtil.imageTypeToExtension(shape.getImageData().getImageType()));
          shape.getImageData().save(getArtifactsDir() + imageFileName);
          imageIndex++;
      }
  }

• getDirectShapeAttr

  @Deprecated
  public java.lang.Object getDirectShapeAttr(int key)

• getShapeRenderer

  public ShapeRenderer getShapeRenderer()
                                throws java.lang.Exception

  Creates and returns an object that can be used to render this shape into an image.

  This method just invokes the ShapeRenderer constructor and passes this object as a parameter.

  Returns:

  The renderer object for this shape.

  Example:

  Shows how to export shapes to files in the local file system using a shape renderer.

  // Open a document that contains shapes and get its shape collection
  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Various shapes.docx");
  NodeCollection shapes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true);
  Assert.assertEquals(7, shapes.getCount());
  
  // There are 7 shapes in the document, with one group shape with 2 child shapes
  // The child shapes will be rendered but their parent group shape will be skipped, so we will see 6 output files
  for (Shape shape : (Iterable<Shape>) shapes) {
      ShapeRenderer renderer = shape.getShapeRenderer();
      ImageSaveOptions options = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.PNG);
      renderer.save(getArtifactsDir() + MessageFormat.format("Shape.RenderAllShapes.{0}.png", shape.getName()), options);
  }

• getSizeInPoints

  public java.awt.geom.Point2D.Float getSizeInPoints()

  Gets the size of the shape in points.

  Point2D.Float is used as return type because we need in float dimension values here. One should to assume that Point2D's x == width and y == height.

• getText

  public java.lang.String getText()

  Gets the text of this node and of all its children.

  The returned string includes all control and special characters as described in ControlChar.

  Example:

  Shows how to output all paragraphs in a document that are bulleted or numbered.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  builder.getListFormat().applyNumberDefault();
  builder.writeln("Numbered list item 1");
  builder.writeln("Numbered list item 2");
  builder.writeln("Numbered list item 3");
  builder.getListFormat().removeNumbers();
  
  builder.getListFormat().applyBulletDefault();
  builder.writeln("Bulleted list item 1");
  builder.writeln("Bulleted list item 2");
  builder.writeln("Bulleted list item 3");
  builder.getListFormat().removeNumbers();
  
  NodeCollection paras = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true);
  for (Paragraph para : (Iterable<Paragraph>) paras) {
      if (para.getListFormat().isListItem()) {
          System.out.println(java.text.MessageFormat.format("*** A paragraph belongs to list {0}", para.getListFormat().getList().getListId()));
          System.out.println(para.getText());
      }
  }

  Example:

  Shows the difference between calling the GetText and ToString methods on a node.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD Field");
  
  // GetText will retrieve the visible text as well as field codes and special characters.
  Assert.assertEquals("\u0013MERGEFIELD Field\u0014«Field»\u0015\f", doc.getText());

  Assert.assertEquals("«Field»\r\n", doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));

• indexOf

  public int indexOf(Node child)

  Returns the index of the specified child node in the child node array.

  Returns -1 if the node is not found in the child nodes.

  Example:

  Shows how to get the index of a given child node from its parent.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");
  
  // Get the body of the first section in the document
  Body body = doc.getFirstSection().getBody();
  
  // Retrieve the index of the last paragraph in the body
  Assert.assertEquals(24, body.getChildNodes().indexOf(body.getLastParagraph()));

• insertAfter

  public Node insertAfter(Node newChild, Node refChild)

  Inserts the specified node immediately after the specified reference node.

  If refChild is null, inserts newChild at the beginning of the list of child nodes.

  If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

  If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use DocumentBase.importNode(com.aspose.words.Node,boolean,int) to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

  Parameters:

  newChild - The Node to insert.

  refChild - The Node that is the reference node. The newNode is placed after the refNode.

  Returns:

  The inserted node.

• toString

  public java.lang.String toString(int saveFormat)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

  Exports the content of the node into a string in the specified format.

  Returns:

  The content of the node in the specified format.

  Parameters:

  saveFormat - A SaveFormat value.

  Example:

  Shows how to extract the label of each paragraph in a list as a value or a String.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");
  doc.updateListLabels();
  int listParaCount = 1;
  
  for (Paragraph paragraph : (Iterable<Paragraph>) doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true)) {
      // Find if we have the paragraph list. In our document our list uses plain arabic numbers,
      // which start at three and ends at six
      if (paragraph.getListFormat().isListItem()) {
          System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("List item paragraph #{0}", listParaCount));
  
          // This is the text we get when actually getting when we output this node to text format
          // The list labels are not included in this text output. Trim any paragraph formatting characters
          String paragraphText = paragraph.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT).trim();
          System.out.println("Exported Text: " + paragraphText);
  
          ListLabel label = paragraph.getListLabel();
          // This gets the position of the paragraph in current level of the list. If we have a list with multiple level then this
          // will tell us what position it is on that particular level
          System.out.println("\tNumerical Id: " + label.getLabelValue());
  
          // Combine them together to include the list label with the text in the output
          System.out.println("\tList label combined with text: " + label.getLabelString() + " " + paragraphText);
  
          listParaCount++;
      }
  }

  Example:

  Exports the content of a node to String in HTML format.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");
  
  // Extract the last paragraph in the document to convert to HTML
  Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph();
  
  // When ToString is called using the html SaveFormat overload then the node is converted directly to html
  Assert.assertEquals("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%; font-size:12pt\">" +
          "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" +
          "</p>", node.toString(SaveFormat.HTML));
  
  // We can also modify the result of this conversion using a SaveOptions object
  HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
  saveOptions.setExportRelativeFontSize(true);
  
  Assert.assertEquals("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%\">" +
          "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" +
          "</p>", node.toString(saveOptions));

  Example:

  Shows the difference between calling the GetText and ToString methods on a node.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD Field");
  
  // GetText will retrieve the visible text as well as field codes and special characters.
  Assert.assertEquals("\u0013MERGEFIELD Field\u0014«Field»\u0015\f", doc.getText());
  
  // ToString will give us the document's appearance if saved to a passed save format.
  Assert.assertEquals("«Field»\r\n", doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
