Set Connector Shape Appearance & Font Directory Paths for Rendering Visio Diagrams
What is new in this release?
We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 5.2.0 . With this new release, developers can now set the font directory paths for rendering in Visio diagrams and also they could set connector shape appearance. In addition to that we have added support to refresh milestones on the timeline shape and included another print method which takes printer and document name parameters on a customer request. It allows to customize document name during the print job. Besides above new features, we also bring performance, formatting, and quality improvements in exporting Visio diagrams to any other supported formats. The operating systems store fonts in different folders and Aspose.Diagram looks for fonts in the respective Fonts folder. Developers can now specify locations of their own or third party fonts folders. Microsoft Office Visio offers connection types by going to the Design tab, and at the far left of the ribbon you can see Connectors in the Layout group. There are three types of Connectors in Visio: Right Angle, Straight Lines and curved, which can be found from the popup menu if you click the connectors button. This new release of the Aspose.Diagram APIs has included this feature support. Developers can now manage connector type shape?s appearance programmatically. The timeline shape is the foundation to which we add the project milestones and events, Aspose.Diagram APIs allows to manage it. Using the older version, when we changed the period of timeline shape, milestones remain schedule based on the previous time period. To manage this thing, we have added a new RefreshTimeLine method in TimeLineHelper class. We have added another print method which sends print jobs to the printer. It takes printer and document name as parameters, so far users can customize the document name in job print queue. In this recent release version, we have improved export areas regarding VSD to PDF, VSD to PNG, VSD to SVG and VSD to VDX. We have also included some fixes of manipulation. Here is the list of important enhancements and bugs fixes in the new version.
- Add support to set connector appearance
- Add support to set fonts folder path
- The timeline data does not update in Visio Viewer
- Performance issue when exporting VSD to PDF format
- VSDX to PDF conversion, incorrect rendering of the text items
