GetShapeRenderer

ShapeBase.GetShapeRenderer method

Creates and returns an object that can be used to render this shape into an image.

public ShapeRenderer GetShapeRenderer()

Return Value

The renderer object for this shape.

Remarks

This method just invokes the ShapeRenderer constructor and passes this object as a parameter.

Examples

Shows how to use a shape renderer to export shapes to files in the local file system.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Various shapes.docx");
Shape[] shapes = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true).OfType<Shape>().ToArray();

Assert.AreEqual(7, shapes.Length);

// There are 7 shapes in the document, including one group shape with 2 child shapes.
// We will render every shape to an image file in the local file system
// while ignoring the group shapes since they have no appearance.
// This will produce 6 image files.
foreach (Shape shape in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true).OfType<Shape>())
{
    ShapeRenderer renderer = shape.GetShapeRenderer();
    ImageSaveOptions options = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Png);
    renderer.Save(ArtifactsDir + $"Shape.RenderAllShapes.{shape.Name}.png", options);
}
