Class XSLFDiagram

All Implemented Interfaces:
GraphicalFrame<XSLFShape,XSLFTextParagraph>, PlaceableShape<XSLFShape,XSLFTextParagraph>, Shape<XSLFShape,XSLFTextParagraph>

@Beta public class XSLFDiagram extends XSLFGraphicFrame
Representation of a DrawingML Diagram

This class converts the diagram to an XSLFGroupShape accessible via getGroupShape(). The underlying XSLFDiagramDrawing used to create the group shape is accessible via getDiagramDrawing().

In pptx files, these diagrams are generated by creating SmartArt. When a pptx has SmartArt, a directory with the following structure is created:

 ppt/
   diagrams/
     data#.xml
     drawing#.xml^
     colors#.xml
     quickStyle#.xml
     layout#.xml
     rels/
       data#.xml.rels
       drawing#.xml.rels
 

^The `drawing#.xml` file is not in the OpenXML spec. It was added as an extension by Microsoft, namespace: http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/drawing/2008/diagram

The drawing#.xml file contains the rendered output of the diagram. This class reads the underlying drawing#.xml and converts it to a XSLFGroupShape.

The data, drawing, colors, and quickStyle files are in the OpenXML spec. These contain the instructions that define how to render the diagram. Rendering diagrams from these files is not trivial, they support for loops, if/elses, etc. Integrating such a change into POI would be quite sophisticated and challenging.

    • getDiagramDrawing

      public XSLFDiagramDrawing getDiagramDrawing()
      Returns the underlying XSLFDiagramDrawing used to create this diagram.

      NOTE: Modifying this drawing will not update the groupShape returned from getGroupShape().

    • getGroupShape

      public org.apache.poi.xslf.usermodel.XSLFDiagram.XSLFDiagramGroupShape getGroupShape()
      Returns the diagram represented as a grouped shape.
