Downloadable documentation?

Aspose.Imaging Product Family

Hi,

is there any downloadable API documentation available? Just because your online help is really slow, outdated, incomplete and annoying.

BR, Torsten

Hi Torsten,


Thank you for contacting Aspose support.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. No doubt that the Aspose document section gets slow some times due to the load, however, we update the online documentation with every product release therefore it should be updated. Anyway, we will thoroughly check the documentation and update it wherever required. In the meanwhile, you may use the API Reference Guide available as compiled JavaDoc in the Aspose.Imaging for Java download package. Unfortunately, other documentation such as Programmer’s Guide and Technical Articles are only available online.

Hi Babar,

thanks for the hint, that the javadoc is delivered as jar. This helped a lot. But the descriptions are still in many cases not very detailed.

This helped me to find a way to convert a raster image to an EMF, which fails when using the method save(outputStream, new EmfOptions()):
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PngOptions options = new PngOptions();
options.setPalette(m_image.getPalette());
m_image.save(out, options);

BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray()));

Rectangle rcl = new Rectangle(image.getWidth()+1, image.getHeight()+1);
EmfRecorderGraphics2D emfRecorderGraphics = EmfMetafileImage.createEmfRecorderGraphics(rcl, new Dimension(image.getWidth(), image.getHeight()), 200.0f, 200.0f);
emfRecorderGraphics.drawImage(image,0,0,null);
EmfMetafileImage emfMetafileImage = emfRecorderGraphics.endRecording();
emfMetafileImage.save( outputStream ); //important: no format parameter (with parameter it will fail! (save not supported exception))

Maybe implementing this in the built-in save method would be useful.

Another issue occurs when saving (converting) an EMF to GIF. This only works for PNG, but GIF mixes up the color palette. The only workaround I found is the following:

ByteArrayOutputStream pngOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
m_metafile.save(pngOut, new PngOptions());
BufferedImage buf = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(pngOut.toByteArray()));
ImageIO.write(buf, “gif”, outputStream);

BR, Torsten

Hi Torsten,


Thank you for sharing your workaround solutions, and sorry for a bit delayed response.

We have raised your concerns with the core development team by logging appropriate tickets in our bug tracking system. Please note, we have logged generic tickets as follow,

  1. IMAGING-34266 Conversion of Raster Image Formats to EMF
  2. IMAGING-34267 Conversion of EMF to Raster Image Formats

As soon as some we receive more updates in this regard, we will post here for your kind reference.
