Public API Changes

Support of Presentation to XAML export

To support Presentation export to XAML, we added new API members.

IXamlOptions interface and XamlOptions class. IXamlOptions definition:

/**
 * <p>
 * Options that control how a XAML document is saved.
 * </p>
 */
public interface IXamlOptions extends ISaveOptions
{
    /**
	<p>
	Determines whether hidden slides will be exported.
	</p>
     */
    public boolean getExportHiddenSlides();
    /**
	<p>
	Determines whether hidden slides will be exported.
	</p>
     */
    public void setExportHiddenSlides(boolean value);
    
    /**
	<p>
	Represents an implementation of IOutputSaver interface.
	</p>
     */
    public IXamlOutputSaver getOutputSaver();
    /**
	<p>
	Represents an implementation of IOutputSaver interface.
	</p>
     */
    public void setOutputSaver(IXamlOutputSaver value);
}

For Presentation export to XAML, a new Save method overload got added to the Presentation class:

/**
 * <p>
 * Saves all slides of a presentation to a set of files representing XAML markup.
 * </p>
 */
public final void save(IXamlOptions options)

This code sample demonstrates the exporting of a Presentation to a set of XAML files:

Presentation pres = new Presentation("pres.pptx");
try {
    XamlOptions xamlOptions = new XamlOptions();
    xamlOptions.setExportHiddenSlides(true);
	
    pres.save(xamlOptions);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}

The XAML files get saved in a newly created folder—“pres”.

The IXamlOutputSaver interface allows you to define your own output-saving service. IXamlOutputSaver definition:

/**
 * <p>
 * Represents an output saver implementation for transfer data to the external storage.
 * </p>
 */
public interface IXamlOutputSaver
{
    /**
     * <p>
     * Saves a bytes array to a destination location.
     * </p>
     * @param path The destination path.
     * @param data A binary data for saving to a destination location.
     */
    public void save(String path, byte[] data);
}

IEffect.getTargetShape() method has been added

The IEffect.getTargetShape() method has been added. It returns the shape affected by the effect.

Method declaration:

/**
 * <p>
 * Returns target shape for effect.
 * Read-only {@link IShape}.
 * </p>
 */
public IShape getTargetShape();

This code sample demonstrates the output of information for all animated shapes in the main sequence for all slides in a presentation.

Presentation pres = new Presentation("SomePresentation.pptx");
try {
    for (ISlide slide : pres.getSlides())
        for (IEffect effect : slide.getTimeline().getMainSequence())
            System.out.println(effect.getType() + " animation effect is set to shape#" + effect.getTargetShape().getUniqueId() + " on slide#" + slide.getSlideNumber());
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}
