Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 16.12.0. The new version of the API allows developers to modify the gradient fill of a shape in the Visio drawing. The gradient fill improves the appearance of shapes. Developers can also find an improvement in exporting Visio drawings with an embedded Excel worksheet to PDFs. The recent version also covers a number of regular bug fixes and enhancements. Visio shape gradients provide a fast way to give shapes a professional look, especially for flowcharts and other diagrams that will be seen by a wide audience. Using Aspose.Diagram API, developers can retrieve and modify the gradient fill data as per their needs. Developers can also get the gradient stops from each gradient fill to set the position, color and transparency. Aspose.Diagram API has support of manipulating the embedded OLE objects. In few reported use cases, clients were converting the source Visio diagrams to PDFs and facing the problem of missing embedded Excel worksheet. We have enhanced the export of Visio diagrams with embedded worksheet. It is now better than previous. This version also addresses the issues of incomplete rendering of the shapes, extra whitespace around the actual drawing, the invisibility of group shapes and the general formatting problems of the diagram. These enhancements and bug fixes improve performance and accuracy of Aspose.Diagram API.
