Examples

Shows how to insert a shape with an image from the local file system into a document.

Document doc = new Document();

// The "Shape" class's public constructor will create a shape with "ShapeMarkupLanguage.Vml" markup type.
// If you need to create a shape of a non-primitive type, such as SingleCornerSnipped, TopCornersSnipped, DiagonalCornersSnipped,
// TopCornersOneRoundedOneSnipped, SingleCornerRounded, TopCornersRounded, or DiagonalCornersRounded,
// please use DocumentBuilder.InsertShape.
Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Image);
shape.ImageData.SetImage(ImageDir + "Windows MetaFile.wmf");
shape.Width = 100;
shape.Height = 100;

doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(shape);

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Image.FromFile.docx");

Shows how Aspose.Words identify shapes.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.InsertShape(ShapeType.Heptagon, RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page, 0,
    RelativeVerticalPosition.Page, 0, 0, 0, WrapType.None);

builder.InsertShape(ShapeType.Cloud, RelativeHorizontalPosition.RightMargin, 0,
    RelativeVerticalPosition.Page, 0, 0, 0, WrapType.None);

builder.InsertShape(ShapeType.MathPlus, RelativeHorizontalPosition.RightMargin, 0,
    RelativeVerticalPosition.Page, 0, 0, 0, WrapType.None);

// To correct identify shape types you need to work with shapes as DML.
OoxmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new OoxmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Docx)
{
    // "Strict" or "Transitional" compliance allows to save shape as DML.
    Compliance = OoxmlCompliance.Iso29500_2008_Transitional
};

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Shape.ShapeTypes.docx", saveOptions);
doc = new Document(ArtifactsDir + "Shape.ShapeTypes.docx");

Shape[] shapes = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true).OfType<Shape>().ToArray();

foreach (Shape shape in shapes)
{
    Console.WriteLine(shape.ShapeType);
}
