Working with the Reflection Effect of Shape or Chart

The following sample code loads the source excel file and accesses the first shape in the default worksheet and sets different properties of Shape.Reflection class and then saves the workbook in the output excel file.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-.NET
// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

// Load your source excel file
Workbook wb = new Workbook(dataDir + "sample.xlsx");

// Access first worksheet
Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets[0];

// Access first shape
Shape sh = ws.Shapes[0];

// Set the reflection effect of the shape, set its Blur, Size, Transparency and Distance properties
ReflectionEffect re = sh.Reflection;
re.Blur = 30;
re.Size = 90;
re.Transparency = 0;
re.Distance = 80;

// Save the workbook in xlsx format
wb.Save(dataDir + "output_out.xlsx");
