Update Fields

Update Field

Aspose.Diagram for Python via Java lets you update field to Microsoft Visio diagrams from within your own applications, without Microsoft Office Automation.

The Field object represents text field in a text run. The field property, exposed by the Shape class supports a collection of Aspose.Diagram.Field objects.

Programming Sample

The following piece of code update a field in shape.

import jpype
import asposediagram
jpype.startJVM()
from asposediagram.api import *

lic = License()
lic.setLicense("Aspose.Total.Product.Family.lic")

# load a Visio diagram
diagram = Diagram("InsertField_out.vsdx")

# Get page by name
page = diagram.getPages().getPage("Page-1")

# Get Visio Shape
shape = page.getShapes().get(0)

fld = shape.getFields().get(0)
# Update format of field
fld.getFormat().setVal("")
fld.getFormat().getUfev().setUnit(MeasureConst.UNDEFINED)
fld.getFormat().getUfev().setF("")

# Update value of field
fld.getValue().setVal("1")
fld.getValue().getUfev().setF("")
fld.getValue().getUfev().setUnit(MeasureConst.UNDEFINED)

# Save diagram 
diagram.save("UpdateField_out.vsdx", SaveFileFormat.VSDX)
