Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET 25.2 Release Notes

Major Features

We are pleased to announce the February release of Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET 25.2.0. This version reflects recent enhancements from Aspose.SVG for .NET, emphasizing improved image manipulation, text styling, and rendering quality in Python-based applications. Key highlights include new enumerations for rotation/flip operations and text styling, revised rendering properties (use_antialiasing, use_hinting), and a more streamlined font interface.

Below is a summary of the most significant updates:

Enhancements and Fixes

  1. New WebRotateFlipType Enumeration

    • Introduces image rotation and flipping capabilities without relying on System.Drawing.
    • Enum Members:
      • ROTATE_NONE_FLIP_NONE, ROTATE_90_FLIP_NONE, ROTATE_180_FLIP_NONE, ROTATE_270_FLIP_NONE
      • ROTATE_NONE_FLIP_X, ROTATE_90_FLIP_X, ROTATE_180_FLIP_X, ROTATE_270_FLIP_X
      • ROTATE_NONE_FLIP_Y, ROTATE_90_FLIP_Y, ROTATE_180_FLIP_Y, ROTATE_270_FLIP_Y
      • ROTATE_NONE_FLIP_XY, ROTATE_90_FLIP_XY, ROTATE_180_FLIP_XY, ROTATE_270_FLIP_XY

  2. Updated IBitmap API

    • rotate_flip now uses the new WebRotateFlipType (instead of aspose.pydrawing.RotateFlipType).
    • Enhances cross-platform support and unifies image transformation options.

  3. Refined Font Interface

    • ITrueTypeFont.style property has been removed.
    • Other font properties (e.g., family_name, sub_family_name, full_font_name) remain available to specify font details.

  4. New WebFontStyle Enumeration

    • Adds more descriptive text styling options:
      • REGULAR, BOLD, and ITALIC.
    • Used by GraphicContext.font_style and ICanvasContext.font_style to manage text rendering.

  5. Renamed Rendering Properties

    • use_antialiasing replaces smoothing_mode in ImageRenderingOptions and ImageSaveOptions.
      • Boolean property to toggle antialiasing; enabled by default.
    • use_hinting replaces text_rendering_hint in TextOptions.
      • Boolean property for enabling/disabling text hinting; disabled by default.

Updated Public API

  1. rotate_flip in IBitmap

    • Old: rotate_flip(aspose.pydrawing.RotateFlipType)
    • New: rotate_flip(aspose.svg.drawing.WebRotateFlipType)

  2. Removed ITrueTypeFont.style

    • This property is no longer present; users should use WebFontStyle or other existing font properties.

  3. use_antialiasing and use_hinting

    • use_antialiasing: Found in ImageRenderingOptions and ImageSaveOptions.
    • use_hinting: Located in TextOptions.

  4. Font Style in GraphicContext and ICanvasContext

    • Both reference WebFontStyle (Regular, Bold, Italic) for more intuitive text styling.
