Examples

Shows how to work with revision shapes.

doc = aw.Document()
self.assertFalse(doc.track_revisions)
# Insert an inline shape without tracking revisions, which will make this shape not a revision of any kind.
shape = aw.drawing.Shape(doc, aw.drawing.ShapeType.CUBE)
shape.wrap_type = aw.drawing.WrapType.INLINE
shape.width = 100.0
shape.height = 100.0
doc.first_section.body.first_paragraph.append_child(shape)
# Start tracking revisions and then insert another shape, which will be a revision.
doc.start_track_revisions('John Doe')
shape = aw.drawing.Shape(doc, aw.drawing.ShapeType.SUN)
shape.wrap_type = aw.drawing.WrapType.INLINE
shape.width = 100.0
shape.height = 100.0
doc.first_section.body.first_paragraph.append_child(shape)
shapes = [node.as_shape() for node in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, True)]
self.assertEqual(2, len(shapes))
shapes[0].remove()
# Since we removed that shape while we were tracking changes,
# the shape persists in the document and counts as a delete revision.
# Accepting this revision will remove the shape permanently, and rejecting it will keep it in the document.
self.assertEqual(aw.drawing.ShapeType.CUBE, shapes[0].shape_type)
self.assertTrue(shapes[0].is_delete_revision)
# And we inserted another shape while tracking changes, so that shape will count as an insert revision.
# Accepting this revision will assimilate this shape into the document as a non-revision,
# and rejecting the revision will remove this shape permanently.
self.assertEqual(aw.drawing.ShapeType.SUN, shapes[1].shape_type)
self.assertTrue(shapes[1].is_insert_revision)
