Hi,

Attaching a sample presentation,

There is just one ink shape in the ppt
Kindly check the width and height values obtained from aspose api:

curSlide.Shapes[0].width = 458.81
curSlide.Shapes[0].height = 4.42

is there a way to get the height of the entire ink shape which should be around 15

platform:Windows,.NET 4

@sraman,
Thank you for posting the question. I’ve reproduced the problem you described.

Please note that Aspose.Slides returns the same shape size in pt with 72 DPI as PowerPoint but the Ink shapes have the line size, therefore the size of the shape looks larger.

@sraman,
When calculating the shape size, PowerPoint does not take into account the brush size of the Ink drawing, i.e. the boundary dimensions of the shape pass through the center of the brush. With Aspose.Slides for .NET 23.10, to take into account the visible part of the whole Ink object, it is necessary to increase the shape size by the brush size:

using var presentation = new Presentation("sample.pptx");

var inkShape = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes[0] as IInk;
if (inkShape != null)
{
    float visualWidth = inkShape.Width + inkShape.Traces[0].Brush.Size.Width;
    float visualHeight = inkShape.Height + inkShape.Traces[0].Brush.Size.Height;

    Console.WriteLine("Visual Width = {0}", visualWidth);
    Console.WriteLine("Visual Height = {0}", visualHeight);
}

Hi Andrey,
Glad to know.
Could you highlight the new API that have been edited or modified in 23.10.
Also could you describe the following

  1. what is inkshape width height ?
  2. what is inkshape traces ?
  3. what is brush size width height and why should it be added to inkshape width and height ?
  4. some shapes have a property called effective width, what does that mean ?

Regards,
Raman
