Examples

Shows how to traverse through a composite node’s collection of child nodes.

doc = aw.Document()
# Add two runs and one shape as child nodes to the first paragraph of this document.
paragraph = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 0, True).as_paragraph()
paragraph.append_child(aw.Run(doc=doc, text='Hello world! '))
shape = aw.drawing.Shape(doc, aw.drawing.ShapeType.RECTANGLE)
shape.width = 200
shape.height = 200
# Note that the 'CustomNodeId' is not saved to an output file and exists only during the node lifetime.
shape.custom_node_id = 100
shape.wrap_type = aw.drawing.WrapType.INLINE
paragraph.append_child(shape)
paragraph.append_child(aw.Run(doc=doc, text='Hello again!'))
# Iterate through the paragraph's collection of immediate children,
# and print any runs or shapes that we find within.
children = paragraph.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.ANY, False)
self.assertEqual(3, paragraph.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.ANY, False).count)
for child in children:
    switch_condition = child.node_type
    if switch_condition == aw.NodeType.RUN:
        print('Run contents:')
        print(f'\t"{child.get_text().strip()}"')
    elif switch_condition == aw.NodeType.SHAPE:
        child_shape = child.as_shape()
        print('Shape:')
        print(f'\t{child_shape.shape_type}, {child_shape.width}x{child_shape.height}')
