getBinaryData Method Seems To Do the SVG to EMF Conversion in Java

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hello again.
We recently noticed that in-memory conversion of image using getBinaryData() API allows the SVG images to be saved in EMF format . For example:

final IPPImage imgx;
 if (isSVGimage() ) {
	ISvgImage svgImage = new SvgImage(imagebytes);
        IPPImage tmpImage = pptx.getImages().addImage(svgImage);
        // Note that getBinaryData seems to do the SVG to EMF conversion
        imagebytes = tmpImage.getBinaryData();
        imgx = pptx.getImages().addImage(imagebytes);
}

Is this supported behaviour and expected to be in all the subsequent releases of Aspose.Slides?

Our developers have investigated the issue. We cannot currently guarantee that this will not change in the future. But we can add a method for such a conversion which will not change in the future.

Has this issue been resolved in Aspose.Slides 23.2? If not - is there an ETA ?
