We are pleased to announce the latest version of Aspose.Words for Python via .NET (v24.6.0, Win32). This release helps you develop feature-rich document processing Python apps. Enjoy high-quality charts, comparisons, color control, and more on 32-bit Windows machines.
Efficient Charting Features
This Python Words API release lets you generate Treemaps, Sunbursts, Histograms, Pareto, Box and Whisker, Waterfall, and Funnel charts within your documents. Check out the following code samples, which showcase how to create different types of charts in Python.
Box and Whisker Chart:
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
# Insert a Box & Whisker chart.
shape = builder.insert_chart(chart_type=aw.drawing.charts.ChartType.BOX_AND_WHISKER, width=450, height=450)
chart = shape.chart
chart.title.text = 'Points by Years'
# Delete default generated series.
chart.series.clear()
# Add a series.
series = chart.series.add(series_name='Points by Years', categories=['WC', 'WC', 'WC', 'WC', 'WC', 'WC', 'WC', 'WC', 'WC', 'WC', 'NR', 'NR', 'NR', 'NR', 'NR', 'NR', 'NR', 'NR', 'NR', 'NR', 'NA', 'NA', 'NA', 'NA', 'NA', 'NA', 'NA', 'NA', 'NA', 'NA'], values=[91, 80, 100, 77, 90, 104, 105, 118, 120, 101, 114, 107, 110, 60, 79, 78, 77, 102, 101, 113, 94, 93, 84, 71, 80, 103, 80, 94, 100, 101])
# Show data labels.
series.has_data_labels = True
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Charts.BoxAndWhisker.docx')

Funnel Chart:
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
# Insert a Funnel chart.
shape = builder.insert_chart(chart_type=aw.drawing.charts.ChartType.FUNNEL, width=450, height=450)
chart = shape.chart
chart.title.text = 'Population by Age Group'
# Delete default generated series.
chart.series.clear()
# Add a series.
series = chart.series.add(series_name='Population by Age Group', categories=['0-9', '10-19', '20-29', '30-39', '40-49', '50-59', '60-69', '70-79', '80-89', '90-'], values=[0.121, 0.128, 0.132, 0.146, 0.124, 0.124, 0.111, 0.075, 0.032, 0.007])
# Show data labels.
series.has_data_labels = True
decimal_separator = locale.localeconv()['decimal_point']
series.data_labels.number_format.format_code = f"0{decimal_separator}0%"
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Charts.Funnel.docx')

Treemap Chart:
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
# Insert a Treemap chart.
shape = builder.insert_chart(chart_type=aw.drawing.charts.ChartType.TREEMAP, width=450, height=280)
chart = shape.chart
chart.title.text = 'World Population'
# Delete default generated series.
chart.series.clear()
# Add a series.
series = chart.series.add_multilevel_value(series_name='Population by Region', categories=[aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Asia', level2='China'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Asia', level2='India'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Asia', level2='Indonesia'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Asia', level2='Pakistan'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Asia', level2='Bangladesh'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Asia', level2='Japan'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Asia', level2='Philippines'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Asia', level2='Other'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Africa', level2='Nigeria'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Africa', level2='Ethiopia'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Africa', level2='Egypt'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Africa', level2='Other'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Europe', level2='Russia'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Europe', level2='Germany'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Europe', level2='Other'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Latin America', level2='Brazil'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Latin America', level2='Mexico'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Latin America', level2='Other'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Northern America', level2='United States'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Northern America', level2='Other'), aw.drawing.charts.ChartMultilevelValue(level1='Oceania')], values=[1409670000, 1400744000, 279118866, 241499431, 169828911, 123930000, 112892781, 764000000, 223800000, 107334000, 105914499, 903000000, 146150789, 84607016, 516000000, 203080756, 129713690, 310000000, 335893238, 35000000, 42000000])

Refined Shadow Colors
Accurately control shadow appearance with color adjustments using version 24.6.0 of our API on Windows x32 systems. A new color property has been added to the ShadowFormat class for accessing and editing shadow colors, as illustrated in this code example.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Shadow color.docx')
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
self.assertEqual(aspose.pydrawing.Color.red.to_argb(), shape.shadow_format.color.to_argb())

Advanced Document Comparisons
We have added the AdvancedCompareOptions class in this release to simplify data analysis with enhanced comparison options. The newly added ignore_store_item_id property can be used to ignore differences in internal details of StructuredDocumentTags with similar content. Here is how you can use these advanced options in Python.
doc_a = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Document with SDT 1.docx')
doc_b = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Document with SDT 2.docx')
# Configure options to compare SDT with same content but different store item id.
compare_options = aw.comparing.CompareOptions()
compare_options.advanced_options.ignore_store_item_id = False
doc_a.compare(doc_b, "user", datetime.now(), compare_options)
self.assertEqual(8, doc_a.revisions.count)
compare_options.advanced_options.ignore_store_item_id = True
doc_a.revisions.reject_all()
doc_a.compare(doc_b, "user", datetime.now(), compare_options)
self.assertEqual(0, doc_a.revisions.count)

The date_time_utc property is now available in the Comment class for developers to get precise comment creation time with Comment.DateTimeUtc. This is highlighted in the following Python code snippet.
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
date = datetime.now()
comment = aw.Comment(doc, 'John Doe', 'J.D.', date)
comment.set_text('My comment.')
builder.current_paragraph.append_child(comment)
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Comment.UtcDateTime.docx')
doc = aw.Document(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Comment.UtcDateTime.docx')
comment = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.COMMENT, 0, True).as_comment()
# DateTimeUtc return data without milliseconds.
self.assertEqual(date.astimezone(timezone.utc).strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), comment.date_time_utc.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))
