Public API Changes

AfterAnimationType enum class, Effect::get_AfterAnimationType(), Effect::set_AfterAnimationType(), Effect::get_AfterAnimationColor(), and Effect::set_AfterAnimationColor() methods have been added

The AfterAnimationType enum class represents the after animation type of an animation effect and can be used with the Effect::set_AfterAnimationType() and Effect::get_AfterAnimationColor() methods:

auto presentation = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"demo.pptx");

// Get the first effect of the first slide.
System::SharedPtr<IEffect> firstSlideEffect = presentation->get_Slide(0)->get_Timeline()->get_MainSequenceEffect(0);

// Change the After animation effect to "Hide on Next Mouse Click"
firstSlideEffect->set_AfterAnimationType(AfterAnimationType::HideOnNextMouseClick);

This is an example showing how to use the Effect::set_AfterAnimationColor() method along with the AfterAnimationType enum class:

auto presentation = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"demo.pptx");

// Get the first effect of the first slide.
System::SharedPtr<IEffect> firstSlideEffect = presentation->get_Slide(0)->get_Timeline()->get_MainSequenceEffect(0);

// Change the effect After animation type to "Color"
firstSlideEffect->set_AfterAnimationType(AfterAnimationType::Color);

// Set the effect After animation color.
firstSlideEffect->get_AfterAnimationColor()->set_Color(System::Drawing::Color::get_Green());

DataLabelCollection::get_LeaderLinesFormat() method has been added, DataLabelCollection::get_LeaderLinesColor() and DataLabelCollection::set_LeaderLinesColor() methods declared as deprecated

To allow you to format a chart’s leader lines, the get_LeaderLinesFormat() method has been added to the DataLabelCollection class. This is how you format a chart’s lines using the new property:

auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"pres.pptx");

System::SharedPtr<IChart> chart = System::ExplicitCast<IChart>(pres->get_Slide(0)->get_Shape(0));
System::SharedPtr<IChartSeriesCollection> series = chart->get_ChartData()->get_Series();
System::SharedPtr<IDataLabelCollection> labels = series->idx_get(0)->get_Labels();
System::SharedPtr<ILineFillFormat> fillFormat = labels->get_LeaderLinesFormat()->get_Line()->get_FillFormat();

fillFormat->set_FillType(FillType::Solid);
fillFormat->get_SolidFillColor()->set_Color(System::Drawing::Color::FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0));

The DataLabelCollection::get_LeaderLinesColor() and DataLabelCollection::set_LeaderLinesColor() methods are now deprecated and will be removed in Aspose.Slides 23.8.

LowCode::ForEach() method for shape, paragraph, and portion now support include notes

The LowCode::ForEach() methods for shape, paragraph, and portion now support overrides to include notes. A boolean flag is used as an indicator that specifies whether NotesSlides is included in processing.

auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"pres.pptx");

auto lambda = [](SharedPtr<Shape> shape, SharedPtr<BaseSlide> slide, int32_t index) -> void
{
    System::Console::WriteLine(u"{0}, index: {1}", shape->get_Name(), index);
};

auto callback = std::function<void(SharedPtr<Shape> shape, SharedPtr<BaseSlide> slide, int32_t index)>(lambda);

ForEach::Shape(pres, true, callback);
