Retrieve Visio Connectors and Font Information

Retrieving Connector Information

Aspose.Diagram for Java provides mechanisms for retrieving information - ID and name - about pages and master. It also lets you get information about connectors, the elements that link shapes.

The Connect object represents a connector that joins two shapes on a Visio drawing page. The Connects property, exposed by the Page class supports a collection of Aspose.Diagram.Connect objects. This property can be used to retrieve ID and name information about a connector.

Retrieving Font Information

Aspose.Diagram has mechanisms for retrieving information about the elements that make up a diagram, from pages, stencils, connectors and also fonts. This article shows how to find out which fonts are used in a diagram.

The Font object represents a typeface that is either applied to text in a document or available for use on the system.

A Font object maps a name (for example, “Arial”) to the font ID (for example, 3) that Microsoft Visio stores in a Font cell in a Character section of a shape that contains text formatted with that font. Font IDs can change when a document is opened on different systems or when fonts are installed or removed.
