Imported SVG-based 3D Pie Chart Renders Incorrectly in Word

Hello,

We are seeing an issue where a SVG-based 3D Pie Chart renders incorrectly when imported into a Word Document. Given the attached 3D_pie_chart.html file (which contains the embedded SVG image):

  • When imported into a Word document via Aspose Words, the Pie Chart shows incorrect shadows on some of the slices.
  • When rendered in a Browser (Firefox, Edge, etc.), the Pie Chart is appears as expected.

This behavior can be seen in the latest Aspose Cells for Java version 20.11, the attached 3D_pie_chart.html file and the following Java code:

final String svgSrc = [PATH] + "3D_pie_chart.html";

// create a new Document and DocumentBuilder
Document wdDoc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(wdDoc);
builder.moveToDocumentEnd();

// load and insert the SVG source into the doc
String html = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(svgSrc)), "UTF-8");
builder.insertHtml(html, false);

final String newDoc = svgSrc.replace(".html", ".docx");
Files.deleteIfExists(Paths.get(newDoc));
wdDoc.save(newDoc);
System.out.println("Saved Word Document:  " + newDoc);

Running the above code should produce a new 3D_pie_chart.docx file similar to the one attached.

Key Observations:

  • Opening the 3D_pie_chart.html file in a Browser (such as Firefox or Edge) - renders the Chart as expected.
  • Opening the generated DOCX in MS Word shows the 3D Pie Chart having some of the slices with unwanted shading - in particular the slices for “USA” and “Italy” have unwanted shadows.

Environment Details:

  • Aspose Cells for Java 20.11
  • Java version 1.8.0_211
  • Windows 10 OS (but also reproducible under Linux).

File description from the 3D_pie_chart.zip (30.7 KB) attachment:

  • 3D_pie_chart.html: Source HTML file containing an embedded SVG-based 3D Pie Chart and used by the code above.
  • 3D_pie_chart.docx: DOCX file generated by the code above on our environment.
  • 3D_pie_chart.png: PNG representation of the 3D Pie Chart - included as an example of the expected image.

Thank you!
