Working with the Shadow Effect of Shape or Chart with Node.js via C++

Possible Usage Scenarios

Aspose.Cells for Node.js via C++ provides the Shape.getShadowEffect() property along with the ShadowEffect class to work with the shadow effect of shape or chart. The ShadowEffect class contains the following properties which can be set to achieve different results as per application requirements.

• ShadowEffect.getAngle()
• ShadowEffect.getBlur()
• ShadowEffect.getColor()
• ShadowEffect.getDistance()
• ShadowEffect.getPresetType()
• ShadowEffect.getSize()
• ShadowEffect.getTransparency()

Working with the Shadow Effect of Shape or Chart

The following sample code loads the source excel file and accesses the first shape in the first worksheet and sets the sub-properties of the Shape.getShadowEffect() property and then saves the workbook in the output excel file.

const path = require("path");
const AsposeCells = require("aspose.cells.node");

// The path to the documents directory.
const dataDir = path.join(__dirname, "data");
const filePath = path.join(dataDir, "sample.xlsx");
// Load your source excel file
const workbook = new AsposeCells.Workbook(filePath);

// Access first worksheet
const worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);

// Access first shape
const shape = worksheet.getShapes().get(0);

// Set the shadow effect of the shape, set its Angle, Blur, Distance and Transparency properties
const shadowEffect = shape.getShadowEffect();
shadowEffect.setAngle(150);
shadowEffect.setBlur(4);
shadowEffect.setDistance(45);
shadowEffect.setTransparency(0.3);

// Save the workbook in xlsx format
workbook.save(path.join(dataDir, "output_out.xlsx"));
