Working with Shapes Gluing

Get the Connectors Glued to a Particular Shape

Add and Connect Visio Shapes explains how to add a shape and connect it to other shapes in Microsoft Visio diagrams using Aspose.Diagram for .NET. It is also possible to find connectors that are glued to this shape.

Getting Glued Shapes

The GluedShapes method exposed by the Shape class can be used to get a list of the IDs of all the connectors glued to a shape, or, if the shape in question is a connector, the IDs of the shapes it’s connected to.The GetShape method, exposed by the ShapeCollection class, can then be used to find a shape by its ID.

The code below shows how to:

1. Load a sample file.
2. Access a particular shape.
3. Get a list of IDs of all the connectors glued to this shape.

Get Connectors Glued Programming Sample

Use the following code in your .NET application to find all the connectors glued to a shape using Aspose.Diagram for .NET.

Glue Visio Shapes Together with Connection Point

Aspose.Diagram for .NET allows developers glue shapes together through the connection points.

Glue Shapes

The GlueShapes method exposed by the Page class can be used.
