Connecting shapes using Connectors in Ruby

Aspose.Slides - Connecting shapes using connectors

To Connect shapes using connectors by using Aspose.Slides Java for Ruby, call connect_shapes method of ConnectShapes module. Here you can see example code.

Ruby Code

 def connect_shapes()

    data_dir = File.dirname(File.dirname(File.dirname(File.dirname(__FILE__)))) + '/data/Shapes/'



    # Create an instance of Presentation class

    pres = Rjb::import('com.aspose.slides.Presentation').new

    # Accessing shapes collection for selected slide

    shapes = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes()

    shape_type = Rjb::import('com.aspose.slides.ShapeType')

    # Add autoshape Ellipse

    ellipse = shapes.addAutoShape(shape_type.Ellipse, 0, 100, 100, 100)

    # Add autoshape Rectangle

    rectangle = shapes.addAutoShape(shape_type.Rectangle, 100, 300, 100, 100)

    # Adding connector shape to slide shape collection

    connector = shapes.addConnector(shape_type.BentConnector2, 0, 0, 10, 10)

    # Joining Shapes to connectors

    connector.setStartShapeConnectedTo(ellipse)

    connector.setEndShapeConnectedTo(rectangle)

    connector.reroute()

    # Write the presentation as a PPTX file

    save_format = Rjb::import('com.aspose.slides.SaveFormat')

    pres.save(data_dir + "ConnectShapes.pptx", save_format.Pptx)

    puts "Connected shapes, please check the output file."

end

Aspose.Slides - Connecting Shape with connector on desired connection site

To Connect Shape with connector on desired connection site using Aspose.Slides Java for Ruby, call connect_shapes_with_connector method of ConnectShapes module. Here you can see example code.

Ruby Code

 def connect_shapes_with_connector()

    data_dir = File.dirname(File.dirname(File.dirname(File.dirname(__FILE__)))) + '/data/Shapes/'



    # Create an instance of Presentation class

    pres = Rjb::import('com.aspose.slides.Presentation').new

    # Accessing shapes collection for selected slide

    shapes = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes()

    shape_type = Rjb::import('com.aspose.slides.ShapeType')

    # Add autoshape Ellipse

    ellipse = shapes.addAutoShape(shape_type.Ellipse, 0, 100, 100, 100)

    # Add autoshape Rectangle

    rectangle = shapes.addAutoShape(shape_type.Rectangle, 100, 300, 100, 100)

    # Adding connector shape to slide shape collection

    connector = shapes.addConnector(shape_type.BentConnector2, 0, 0, 10, 10)

    # Joining Shapes to connectors

    connector.setStartShapeConnectedTo(ellipse)

    connector.setEndShapeConnectedTo(rectangle)

    # Setting the desired connection site index of Ellipse shape for connector to get connected

    wantedIndex = 6

    # Checking if desired index is less than maximum site index count

    if ellipse.getConnectionSiteCount() > wantedIndex

        # Setting the desired connection site for connector on Ellipse

        connector.setStartShapeConnectionSiteIndex(wantedIndex)

    end

    # Write the presentation as a PPTX file

    save_format = Rjb::import('com.aspose.slides.SaveFormat')

    pres.save(data_dir + "ConnectShapesWithConnector.pptx", save_format.Pptx)

    puts "Connected shapes with connector, please check the output file."

end
