ig.excel.WorksheetShape

Abstract base class for all shapes (atomic or compound) in a worksheet.

Remarks

Atomic shapes are singular shape entities, such as an image, a polygon, or text. Compound shapes are groupings of shapes, and are represented by WorksheetShapeGroup instances.

Currently, not all shape information is customizable (such as shape rotation). However, for round-tripping purposes, when a shape is loaded from an Excel file, this information in maintained with the shape. See WorksheetShape.clearUnknownData for more information about unsupported data.

  • bottomRightCornerCell

    .bottomRightCornerCell( );
    Return Type:
    ig.excel.WorksheetCell
    Return Type Description:
    The cell where the bottom-right corner of the shape resides.

    Gets the cell where the bottom-right corner of the shape resides.

    Exceptions

    Exception Description
    ig.ArgumentException The value assigned is a cell whose worksheet is not the same as this shape's worksheet.
    ig.ArgumentNullException The value assigned is null and this shape already exists on a worksheet or group.

    Remarks

    This anchor cell, along with the WorksheetShape.topLeftCornerCell, determines where the shape will be positioned on the worksheet. In addition, the WorksheetShape.bottomRightCornerPosition and WorksheetShape.topLeftCornerPosition properties allow for finer control of the shape's position.

  • bottomRightCornerCell

    .bottomRightCornerCell( value:ig.excel.WorksheetCell );
    Return Type:
    ig.excel.WorksheetCell
    Return Type Description:
    The cell where the bottom-right corner of the shape resides.

    Sets the cell where the bottom-right corner of the shape resides.

    • value
    • Type:ig.excel.WorksheetCell

    Exceptions

    Exception Description
    ig.ArgumentException The value assigned is a cell whose worksheet is not the same as this shape's worksheet.
    ig.ArgumentNullException The value assigned is null and this shape already exists on a worksheet or group.

    Remarks

    This anchor cell, along with the WorksheetShape.topLeftCornerCell, determines where the shape will be positioned on the worksheet. In addition, the WorksheetShape.bottomRightCornerPosition and WorksheetShape.topLeftCornerPosition properties allow for finer control of the shape's position.

  • bottomRightCornerPosition

    .bottomRightCornerPosition( );
    Return Type:
    object
    Return Type Description:
    The position in the bottom-right corner cell of the shape's bottom-right corner. This will be an object with numeric values for properties 'x' and 'y'.

    Gets the position in the WorksheetShape.bottomRightCornerCell of the shape's bottom-right corner, expressed in percentages.

    Exceptions

    Exception Description
    ig.ArgumentOutOfRangeException Either coordinate of the value assigned is outside the range of 0.0 to 100.0.

    Remarks

    These percentages are expressed as distance across the associated dimension of the cell, starting at the top-left corner of the cell. For example, (0.0, 0.0) represents the top-left corner of the cell, whereas (100.0, 100.0) represents the bottom-right corner of the cell. (50.0, 10.0) would represent the location in the cell which is centered horizontally, and a tenth of the way down from the top.

  • clearUnknownData

    .clearUnknownData( );

    Clears the cached unknown shape data which was read in from a parsed excel file.

    Exceptions

    Exception Description
    ig.InvalidOperationException This method is called on an UnknownShape instance.

    Remarks

    This method will only be needed until all shape information is supported and customizable. After all shape data can be controlled, this method will become obsolete. Currently, all unsupported data will be stored with the shape for round-tripping purposes. For example, if an Excel file with complex and unsupported shapes is loaded into a Workbook instance, some cell values are changed, and it is saved to the same file, the complex shapes will still exist in the workbook. However, if a loaded shape needs to be modified before it is saved back, this method allows for that unsupported data to be removed while all supported data is maintained.

    Note: This method only clears unsupported data. In future versions of the product, as more shape data is supported, this method will have different effects on the shape, until eventually all data is supported and this method will have no effect on the shape.
