Detect Smart Art Shape

This tutorial explains how to detect Smart Art shapes in a Word document using Aspose.Words for .NET. Smart Art shapes are graphical representations used to visually present information and ideas.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you need to have the following:

• Aspose.Words for .NET library installed.
• Basic knowledge of C# and Words Processing with Word documents.

Step 1: Set up the Document Directory

Start by setting up the path to your document directory. Replace "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY" with the actual path to the directory where your document is located.

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

Step 2: Load the Document

Load the Word document using the Document constructor, passing the path to the document as a parameter.

Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Smart Art.docx");

Step 3: Detect Smart Art Shapes

Iterate through the child nodes of type Shape in the document using the GetChildNodes method. Check if each shape has Smart Art using the HasSmart Art property.

int count = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true).Cast<Shape>().Count(shape => shape.HasSmart Art);

Step 4: Output the Result

Print the count of shapes with Smart Art detected in the document.

Console.WriteLine("The document has {0} shapes with Smart Art.", count);
