save method

save(file_name, save_options)

Renders the shape into an image and saves into a file.

def save(self, file_name: str, save_options: aspose.words.saving.ImageSaveOptions):
    ...
ParameterTypeDescription
file_namestrThe name for the image file. If a file with the specified name already exists, the existing file is overwritten.
save_optionsImageSaveOptionsSpecifies the options that control how the shape is rendered and saved. Can be None.

save(file_name, save_options)

Renders the shape into an SVG image and saves into a file.

def save(self, file_name: str, save_options: aspose.words.saving.SvgSaveOptions):
    ...
ParameterTypeDescription
file_namestrThe name for the image file. If a file with the specified name already exists, the existing file is overwritten.
save_optionsSvgSaveOptionsSpecifies the options that control how the shape is rendered and saved. Can be None.

save(stream, save_options)

Renders the shape into an image and saves into a stream.

def save(self, stream: io.BytesIO, save_options: aspose.words.saving.ImageSaveOptions):
    ...
ParameterTypeDescription
streamio.BytesIOThe stream where to save the image of the shape.
save_optionsImageSaveOptionsSpecifies the options that control how the shape is rendered and saved. Can be None. If this is None, the image will be saved in the PNG format.

save(stream, save_options)

Renders the shape into an SVG image and saves into a stream.

def save(self, stream: io.BytesIO, save_options: aspose.words.saving.SvgSaveOptions):
    ...
ParameterTypeDescription
streamio.BytesIOThe stream where to save the SVG image of the shape.
save_optionsSvgSaveOptionsSpecifies the options that control how the shape is rendered and saved. Can be None. If this is None, the image will be saved with the default options.

Examples

Shows how to render an Office Math object into an image file in the local file system.

doc = aw.Document(MY_DIR + 'Office math.docx')
math = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.OFFICE_MATH, 0, True).as_office_math()
# Create an "ImageSaveOptions" object to pass to the node renderer's "save" method to modify
# how it renders the OfficeMath node into an image.
save_options = aw.saving.ImageSaveOptions(aw.SaveFormat.PNG)
# Set the "scale" property to 5 to render the object to five times its original size.
save_options.scale = 5
math.get_math_renderer().save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Shape.render_office_math.png', save_options)

Shows how to pass save options when rendering office math.

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Office math.docx')
math = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.OFFICE_MATH, 0, True).as_office_math()
options = aw.saving.SvgSaveOptions()
options.text_output_mode = aw.saving.SvgTextOutputMode.USE_PLACED_GLYPHS
math.get_math_renderer().save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'SvgSaveOptions.Output.svg', save_options=options)
with io.BytesIO() as stream:
    math.get_math_renderer().save(stream=stream, save_options=options)

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

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Various shapes.docx')
shapes = list(filter(lambda a: a is not None, map(lambda b: system_helper.linq.Enumerable.of_type(lambda x: x.as_shape(), b), list(doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, True)))))
self.assertEqual(7, len(shapes))
# 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.
for shape in filter(lambda a: a is not None, map(lambda b: system_helper.linq.Enumerable.of_type(lambda x: x.as_shape(), b), list(doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, True)))):
    renderer = shape.get_shape_renderer()
    options = aw.saving.ImageSaveOptions(aw.SaveFormat.PNG)
    renderer.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + f'Shape.RenderAllShapes.{shape.name}.png', save_options=options)
