Data in Non-Primitive Shape
Accessing Data of Non-Primitive Shape
Sometimes, you need to access data from a shape that is not built-in. Built-in shapes are called primitive shapes; ones that aren’t are called non-primitive. For example, you can define your own shapes using different curve connected lines.
A Non-Primitive Shape
In Aspose.Cells, non-primitive shapes are assigned the type AutoShapeType.NOT_PRIMITIVE. You can check their type using the Shape.getAutoShapeType() method.
Access the shape data using the Shape.getPaths() method. It returns all the connected paths that comprise the non-primitive shape. These paths are of the type ShapePath that holds a list of all the segments which in turn contain the points in each segment.
The following code snippet demonstrates the use of Shape.getPaths() method to access path information of non-primitive shape.

String dataDir = Utils.getSharedDataDir(NonPrimitiveShape.class) + "DrawingObjects/"; | |
Workbook workbook = new Workbook(dataDir + "NonPrimitiveShape.xlsx"); | |
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0); | |
// Accessing the user defined shape | |
Shape shape = worksheet.getShapes().get(0); | |
if (shape.getAutoShapeType() == AutoShapeType.NOT_PRIMITIVE) { | |
// Access Shape paths | |
ShapePathCollection shapePathCollection = shape.getPaths(); | |
// Access information of individual shape path | |
ShapePath shapePath = shapePathCollection.get(0); | |
// Access shape segment path list | |
ShapeSegmentPathCollection shapeSegmentPathCollection = shapePath.getPathSegementList(); | |
// Access individual segment path | |
ShapeSegmentPath shapeSegmentPath = shapeSegmentPathCollection.get(0); | |
ShapePathPointCollection segmentPoints = shapeSegmentPath.getPoints(); | |
for (Object obj : segmentPoints) { | |
ShapePathPoint pathPoint = (ShapePathPoint) obj; | |
System.out.println("X: " + pathPoint.getX() + ", Y: " + pathPoint.getY()); | |
} | |
