Method IBulletFormat.applyDefaultParagraphIndentsShifts() has been added

Method com.aspose.slides.IBulletFormat.ApplyDefaultParagraphIndentsShifts sets default non-zero shifts for effective paragraph Indent and MarginLeft when bullets is enabled (like PowerPoint do if enable paragraph bullets/numbering in it). If bullets is disabled then just reset paragraph Indent and MarginLeft (like PowerPoint do if disable paragraph bullets/numbering in it).

Method IConnector.reroute() has been added

Method com.aspose.slides.IConnector.reroute() reroutes connector so that it take the shortest possible path between the shapes it connect. To do this, the reroute() method may change the StartShapeConnectionSiteIndex and EndShapeConnectionSiteIndex.

Presentation input = new Presentation();
IShapeCollection shapes = input.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes();
IConnector connector = shapes.addConnector(ShapeType.BentConnector2, 0, 0, 10, 10);
IAutoShape ellipse = shapes.addAutoShape(ShapeType.Ellipse, 0, 100, 100, 100);
IAutoShape rectangle = shapes.addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 100, 300, 100, 100);
connector.setStartShapeConnectedTo(ellipse);
connector.setEndShapeConnectedTo(rectangle);
connector.reroute();
input.save("output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Method IPresentation.getSlideById(long) has been added

Method Aspose.Slides.IPresentation.getSlideById(int) returns a Slide, MasterSlide or LayoutSlide by slide Id.

Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
long id = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0).getSlideId();
IBaseSlide slide = presentation.getSlideById(id);

Method ISmartArt.getNodes() has been added

Method com.aspose.slides.ISmartArt.getNodes() returns collection of root nodes in SmartArt object.

Presentation pres = new Presentation();
ISmartArt smart = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes().addSmartArt(10, 10, 400, 300, SmartArtLayoutType.VerticalBulletList);
ISmartArtNode node = smart.getNodes().get_Item(1); // select second root node
node.getTextFrame().setText("Second root node");
pres.save("out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Method ISmartArt.setLayout(int) has been added

Method for property com.aspose.slides.ISmartArt.setLayout(int) has been added. It allows change layout type of an existing diagram.

smart.setLayout(SmartArtLayoutType.BasicProcess);
pres.save("out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Method ISmartArtNode.isHidden() has been added

Method com.aspose.slides.ISmartArtNode.isHidden() returns true if this node is a hidden node in the data model.

Presentation pres = new Presentation();
ISmartArt smart = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes().addSmartArt(10, 10, 400, 300, SmartArtLayoutType.RadialCycle);
ISmartArtNode node = smart.getAllNodes().addNode();
boolean hidden = node.isHidden(); //returns true
if(hidden) {
    //do some actions or notifications
}
pres.Save("out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Methods ISmartArt.isReversed(), setReserved() have been added

Property com.aspose.slides.ISmartArt.IsReversed allows get or sets the state of the SmartArt diagram with regard to (left-to-right) LTR or (right-to-left) RTL, if the diagram supports reversal.

smart.setReversed(true);
presentation.save("out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Methods ISmartArtNode.getOrganizationChartLayout(), setOrganizationChartLayout(int) have been added

Methods com.aspose.slides.ISmartArtNode.getOrganizationChartLayout(), setOrganizationChartLayout(int) allow get or sets organization chart type associated with current node.

Presentation pres = new Presentation();

pres.save("out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Property IShape.getConnectionSiteCount() has been added

Property com.aspose.slides.getConnectionSiteCount() returns the number of connection sites on the shape.

IConnector connector = shapes.addConnector(ShapeType.BentConnector2, 0, 0, 10, 10);
IAutoShape ellipse = shapes.addAutoShape(ShapeType.Ellipse, 0, 100, 100, 100);
IAutoShape rectangle = shapes.addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 100, 200, 100, 100);
connector.setStartShapeConnectedTo(ellipse);
connector.setEndShapeConnectedTo(rectangle);

long wantedIndex = 6;
if (ellipse.getConnectionSiteCount() > wantedIndex) {
  connector.setStartShapeConnectionSiteIndex(wantedIndex);
}
input.save("output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
