Great news for Mac developers! Upgrade your Word document manipulation apps with advanced features in the newly released Aspose.Words for Python via .NET 24.5.0. This version boasts many new features to better manage document processing tasks within your Python applications on the macOS x64 platform.
Easily Remove Empty Document Pages
With the new remove_blank_pages method in the newest Python word-processing API release, you can easily remove blank doc pages from your documents.
Add Combo Charts to Your Documents on Apple Mac
Insert catchy combo charts into your documents using Aspose.Words for Python via .NET API v24.5.0. This feature enables combining different chart types into a single series group and managing properties like gap width, overlap, and bubble scale for an optimized experience. The following code examples showcase a combo chart created with the secondary Y axis and removing the secondary axis, respectively.
Combo chart with secondary Y axis:
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
shape = builder.insert_chart(chart_type=aw.drawing.charts.ChartType.LINE, width=450, height=250)
chart = shape.chart
series = chart.series
# Delete default generated series.
series.clear()
categories = ['Category 1', 'Category 2', 'Category 3']
series.add(series_name='Series 1 of primary series group', categories=categories, values=[2, 3, 4])
series.add(series_name='Series 2 of primary series group', categories=categories, values=[5, 2, 3])
# Create an additional series group, also of the line type.
new_series_group = chart.series_groups.add(aw.drawing.charts.ChartSeriesType.LINE)
# Specify the use of secondary axes for the new series group.
new_series_group.axis_group = aw.drawing.charts.AxisGroup.SECONDARY
# Hide the secondary X axis.
new_series_group.axis_x.hidden = True
# Define title of the secondary Y axis.
new_series_group.axis_y.title.show = True
new_series_group.axis_y.title.text = 'Secondary Y axis'
# Add a series to the new series group.
series3 = new_series_group.series.add(series_name='Series of secondary series group', categories=categories, values=[13, 11, 16])
series3.format.stroke.weight = 3.5
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Charts.SecondaryAxis.docx')

Removing secondary axis:
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Combo chart.docx')
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
chart = shape.chart
series_groups = chart.series_groups
# Find secondary axis and remove from the collection.
i = 0
while i < series_groups.count:
if series_groups[i].axis_group == aw.drawing.charts.AxisGroup.SECONDARY:
series_groups.remove_at(i)
i += 1

Manage SoftEdge Effects
Enrich the visual appearance of your shapes with the newly introduced SoftEdge property in the latest Python Word document manipulation API version. Add elegant effects by playing with the radius of the soft edges. Here is how to use this feature in your Python applications running on macOS (Big Sur).
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder()
shape = builder.insert_shape(shape_type=aw.drawing.ShapeType.RECTANGLE, width=200, height=200)
# Apply soft edge to the shape.
shape.soft_edge.radius = 30
builder.document.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Shape.SoftEdge.docx')
# Load document with rectangle shape with soft edge.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Shape.SoftEdge.docx')
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
# Check soft edge radius.
self.assertEqual(30, shape.soft_edge.radius)
# Remove soft edge from the shape.
shape.soft_edge.remove()
# Check radius of the removed soft edge.
self.assertEqual(0, shape.soft_edge.radius)

Supercharged SVG Exports
The new max_image_resolution property in SvgSaveOptions ensures high-resolution SVG exports. Define the desired resolution in pixels per inch for enhanced results. Check out the code snippet given below to learn about the feature usage.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Rendering.docx')
save_options = aw.saving.SvgSaveOptions()
save_options.max_image_resolution = 72
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'SvgSaveOptions.MaxImageResolution.svg', save_options=save_options)

Adjust The Shape Values in Python Apps
We have added the AdjustmentCollection and Adjustment classes to this release, for you to exercise more control over shape adjustments, and obtain/modify raw adjustment values programmatically. This code sample highlights feature usage.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Rounded rectangle shape.docx')
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
adjustments = shape.adjustments
self.assertEqual(1, adjustments.count)
adjustment = adjustments[0]
self.assertEqual('adj', adjustment.name)
self.assertEqual(16667, adjustment.value)
adjustment.value = 30000
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Shape.Adjustments.docx')

Convenient Macro Detection
Using the has_macros property in FileFormatInfo, you can boost document processing workflows on macOS x64. This functionality lets you identify the presence of VBA macros without loading the document entirely, as shown in this Python code snippet.
file_format_info = aw.FileFormatUtil.detect_file_format(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Macro.docm')
self.assertTrue(file_format_info.has_macros)
