Working with the Glow Effect of Shape or Chart with C++

Possible Usage Scenarios

Aspose.Cells provides the Shape.Glow property along with the GlowEffect class to work with the glow effect of shapes or charts. The GlowEffect class contains the following properties which can be set to achieve different results according to application requirements.

• GlowEffect.Size
• GlowEffect.Transparency
• GlowEffect.Color

Working with the Glow Effect of Shape or Chart

The following sample code loads the source Excel file, accesses the first shape in the first worksheet, sets the sub‑properties of the Shape.Glow property, and then saves the workbook to the output Excel file.

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"

using namespace Aspose::Cells;
using namespace Aspose::Cells::Drawing;

int main()
{
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // Source directory path
    U16String srcDir(u"..\\Data\\01_SourceDirectory\\");

    // Output directory path
    U16String outDir(u"..\\Data\\02_OutputDirectory\\");

    // Load your source Excel file
    Workbook wb(srcDir + u"sample.xlsx");

    // Access first worksheet
    Worksheet ws = wb.GetWorksheets().Get(0);

    // Access first shape
    Shape sh = ws.GetShapes().Get(0);

    // Set the glow effect of the shape, set its Size and Transparency properties
    GlowEffect ge = sh.GetGlow();
    ge.SetSize(30);
    ge.SetTransparency(0.4);

    // Save the workbook in XLSX format
    wb.Save(outDir + u"output_out.xlsx");

    std::cout << "Glow effect applied successfully!" << std::endl;

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
