Working with Connector Type Shape

Set Appearance of the Connector Type Shape in Visio

This topic elaborates how developers can change the appearance of dynamic connector type shape using Aspose.Diagram for .NET.

Set Connector Appearance

The SetConnectorsType method exposed by the Shape class can be used to set appearance of the connector type shape.

The code below shows how to:

1. Load a sample diagram.
2. get a particular page.
3. get a particular connector shape.
4. set appearance of the shape.
5. save diagram

Set Connector Appearance Programming Sample

Use the following code in your .NET application to set appearance of the connector type shape using Aspose.Diagram for .NET.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-diagram/Aspose.Diagram-for-.NET
// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_Shapes();

// Call a Diagram class constructor to load the VSD diagram
Diagram diagram = new Diagram(dataDir + "Drawing1.vsd");

// Get a particular page
Page page = diagram.Pages.GetPage("Page-3");
// Get a dynamic connector type shape by id
Shape shape = page.Shapes.GetShape(18);
// Set dynamic connector appearance
shape.SetConnectorsType(ConnectorsTypeValue.StraightLines);

// Saving Visio diagram
diagram.Save(dataDir + "SetConnectorAppearance_out.vsdx", SaveFileFormat.VSDX);

Select Reroute Option of the Connector Shape

The ConFixedCode property exposed by the Layout class can be used to select reroute option. The Layout property, exposed by the Shape class, will be used.

The code below shows how to:

1. Load a sample file.
2. get a particular page.
3. get a particular connector shape.
4. set reroute options.
5. save diagram.

Select Reroute Option Programming Sample

Use the following code in your .NET application to select the rerouting option of the connector shape using Aspose.Diagram for .NET.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-diagram/Aspose.Diagram-for-.NET
// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_Shapes();

// Call a Diagram class constructor to load the VSDX diagram
Diagram diagram = new Diagram(dataDir + "Drawing1.vsdx");
// Get page by name
Page page = diagram.Pages.GetPage("Page-3");

// Get a particular connector shape
Shape shape = page.Shapes.GetShape(18);
// Set reroute option
shape.Layout.ConFixedCode.Value = ConFixedCodeValue.NeverReroute;

// Save Visio diagram
diagram.Save(dataDir + "RerouteConnectors_out.vsdx", SaveFileFormat.VSDX);
