The latest release of Aspose.Words for Python via .NET (v24.6.0, Win64) equips developers to build high-performance Word document processing solutions in Python. Experience refined charts, document comparisons, color control, and more on 64-bit Windows machines.
Create Diverse Charts
Generate Treemaps, Sunbursts, Histograms, Pareto, Box and Whisker, Waterfall, and Funnel charts within your documents using this Python word-processing apps API release. 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])

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])

Fine-Tuned Shadow Colors
Precisely control shadow appearance with color adjustments with version 24.6.0 of our API on Windows x64 systems. We have introduced a new color property to the ShadowFormat class for accessing and modifying 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())

Powerful Document Comparisons
The newly added AdvancedCompareOptions class streamlines data analysis with improved comparison options in this release. A new property, ignore_store_item_id, is introduced to ignore differences in internal details of StructuredDocumentTags with the same 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)

With the newly added date_time_utc property in the Comment class, developers can 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"))
