Aspose.Slides for .NET 26.3 Release Notes

New Features and Improvements

Public API Changes

Added New Method: Shape.GetVisualBounds()

A new GetVisualBounds() method has been added to the Shape class. This method returns the actual visual bounds of a shape as it appears on the slide after rendering.
Unlike the model bounds (Shape.X, Shape.Y, Shape.Width, Shape.Height), the visual bounds represent the final rendered appearance and may extend beyond the shape’s original geometry.
The returned bounds take into account rendering-time factors such as rotation, stroke width, text overflow, SmartArt layout, and grouping.

Usage Example

The following code snippet demonstrates how to retrieve and print the visual bounds of a shape on the first slide:

using (var presentation = new Presentation("example.pptx"))
{
    Shape shape = (Shape)presentation.Slides[0].Shapes[0];

    RectangleF visualBounds = shape.GetVisualBounds();

    Console.WriteLine(
        $"Visual bounds: X={visualBounds.X}, Y={visualBounds.Y}, " +
        $"Width={visualBounds.Width}, Height={visualBounds.Height}");
}

Added New Property: IFillFormatEffectiveData.SolidFillSchemeColor

A new SolidFillSchemeColor property has been added to the IFillFormatEffectiveData interface. This property allows retrieving the fill color defined by the presentation’s color scheme.

Usage Example

The following code snippet demonstrates how to print the effective fill colors of the shapes on the first slide:

using (var presentation = new Presentation("FillColor.pptx"))
{
    foreach (var shape in presentation.Slides[0].Shapes)
    {
        var fillFormat = shape.FillFormat.GetEffective();
        Console.WriteLine("Fill color: " + fillFormat.SolidFillColor);
        Console.WriteLine("Fill scheme color: " + fillFormat.SolidFillSchemeColor);
    }
}
