Remarks
Using the Shape class you can create or modify shapes in a Microsoft Word document.
An important property of a shape is its ShapeType. Shapes of different types can have different capabilities in a Word document. For example, only image and OLE shapes can have images inside them. Most of the shapes can have text, but not all.
Shapes that can have text, can contain Paragraph and Table nodes as children.
Examples
Shows how to extract images from a document, and save them to the local file system as individual files.
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(MyDir + u"Images.docx");
// Get the collection of shapes from the document,
// and save the image data of every shape with an image as a file to the local file system.
SharedPtr<NodeCollection> shapes = doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Shape, true);
ASSERT_EQ(9, shapes->LINQ_Count([](SharedPtr<Node> s) { return (System::ExplicitCast<Shape>(s))->get_HasImage(); }));
int imageIndex = 0;
for (const auto& shape : System::IterateOver(shapes->LINQ_OfType<SharedPtr<Shape>>()))
{
if (shape->get_HasImage())
{
// The image data of shapes may contain images of many possible image formats.
// We can determine a file extension for each image automatically, based on its format.
String imageFileName =
String::Format(u"File.ExtractImages.{0}{1}", imageIndex, FileFormatUtil::ImageTypeToExtension(shape->get_ImageData()->get_ImageType()));
shape->get_ImageData()->Save(ArtifactsDir + imageFileName);
imageIndex++;
}
}
Shows how to insert a floating image to the center of a page.
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);
// Insert a floating image that will appear behind the overlapping text and align it to the page's center.
SharedPtr<Shape> shape = builder->InsertImage(ImageDir + u"Logo.jpg");
shape->set_WrapType(WrapType::None);
shape->set_BehindText(true);
shape->set_RelativeHorizontalPosition(RelativeHorizontalPosition::Page);
shape->set_RelativeVerticalPosition(RelativeVerticalPosition::Page);
shape->set_HorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment::Center);
shape->set_VerticalAlignment(VerticalAlignment::Center);
doc->Save(ArtifactsDir + u"Image.CreateFloatingPageCenter.docx");
Shows how to delete all shapes from a document.
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);
// Insert two shapes along with a group shape with another shape inside it.
builder->InsertShape(ShapeType::Rectangle, 400, 200);
builder->InsertShape(ShapeType::Star, 300, 300);
auto group = MakeObject<GroupShape>(doc);
group->set_Bounds(System::Drawing::RectangleF(100.0f, 50.0f, 200.0f, 100.0f));
group->set_CoordOrigin(System::Drawing::Point(-1000, -500));
auto subShape = MakeObject<Shape>(doc, ShapeType::Cube);
subShape->set_Width(500);
subShape->set_Height(700);
subShape->set_Left(0);
subShape->set_Top(0);
group->AppendChild(subShape);
builder->InsertNode(group);
ASSERT_EQ(3, doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Shape, true)->get_Count());
ASSERT_EQ(1, doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::GroupShape, true)->get_Count());
// Remove all Shape nodes from the document.
SharedPtr<NodeCollection> shapes = doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Shape, true);
shapes->Clear();
// All shapes are gone, but the group shape is still in the document.
ASSERT_EQ(1, doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::GroupShape, true)->get_Count());
ASSERT_EQ(0, doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Shape, true)->get_Count());
// Remove all group shapes separately.
SharedPtr<NodeCollection> groupShapes = doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::GroupShape, true);
groupShapes->Clear();
ASSERT_EQ(0, doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::GroupShape, true)->get_Count());
ASSERT_EQ(0, doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Shape, true)->get_Count());
