New Features and Enhancements

Other Improvements and Changes

Public API Changes

Introducing a new Modern API

To gradually move away from using System::Drawing dependencies in the public API, starting with version 24.4 we are starting the transition to the new Modern API.

This means that all public API members that have the following classes in their signature will be removed in version 24.8:

• System::Drawing::Graphics
• System::Drawing::Image
• System::Drawing::Bitmap

For more details, see: Modern API

New classes and enumerations have been added to the public API:

• IImage - Represents the raster or vector image.
• ImageFormat - Represents the file format of the image.
• Images - the static class that contains methods to instantiate IImage.

The following methods and properties are declared as obsolete and will be removed in version 24.8.

Presentation Class

Slide Class

Shape Class

ImageCollection Class

PPImage Class

PatternFormat Class

IPatternFormatEffectiveData Class

New methods PdfOptions::get_RasterizeUnsupportedFontStyles() and PdfOptions::set_RasterizeUnsupportedFontStyles have been added.

The property specifies whether text should be rasterized as a bitmap and saved to PDF when the font does not support bold styling. This approach can enhance the quality of text in the resulting PDF for certain fonts.

Example:

System::SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>();
System::SharedPtr<PdfOptions> options = System::MakeObject<PdfOptions>();
options->set_RasterizeUnsupportedFontStyles(true);
pres->Save(u"pres.pdf", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pdf, options);

New methods PptxOptions::get_Zip64Mode() and PptxOptions::set_Zip64Mode() have been added.

The property specifies whether the ZIP64 format is used for the Presentation document.

Example:

System::SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"demo.pptx");
System::SharedPtr<PptxOptions> options = System::MakeObject<PptxOptions>();
options->set_Zip64Mode(Aspose::Slides::Export::Zip64Mode::Always);
pres->Save(u"demo-zip64.pptx", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pptx, options);

Renaming methods in the ZoomObject class.

• Use the ZoomObject::get_ZoomImage() method instead of the ZoomObject::get_Image() method.
• Use the ZoomObject::set_ZoomImage() method instead of the ZoomObject::set_Image() method.

Example:

System::SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"pres.pptx");
System::SharedPtr<IZoomFrame> zoomFrame = pres->get_Slide(0)->get_Shapes()->AddZoomFrame(150.0f, 20.0f, 50.0f, 50.0f, pres->get_Slide(1));
System::SharedPtr<IPPImage> image = pres->get_Images()->AddImage(Images::FromFile(u"image.png"));
zoomFrame->set_ZoomImage(image);
