Annotate VST Formats in Python
Native VST document annotation using server-side Python APIs.
Aspose.Diagram for Python
Overview
How to Annotate VST Files Using Python
In order to annotate VST file, we’ll use
API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use conversion API for Python platform. You can download its latest version directly from
Steps for annotation VST Files in Java
A basic document annotation and concatenating with
APIs can be done with just few lines of code.
- Load VST file by creating an instance of Diagram
- Select Page via its id
- Get annotation in Page’s Pagesheet
- Call the remove() method to remove the comment
- Call the save() method and pass the file name (full path) and format (VSDX) as a parameter.
- Now you can open and use the VSDX file in Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF or any other compatible program.
System Requirements
Aspose.Diagram for Python is platform-independent API and can be used on any platform (Windows, Linux and MacOS), just make sure that system have Java 1.8 or higher, Python 3.5 or higher.
- Install Java and add it to PATH environment variable, for example:
PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131;. - Install Aspose.Diagram for Python from pypi, use command as:

diagram = Diagram( "f.vst");
ans = diagram.getPages().get(0).getPageSheet().getAnnotations()
an = ans.get(0)
ans.remove(an)

About Aspose.Diagram for Python via java API
Aspose.Diagram is a Microsoft Visio document format manipulation API. One can easily load, create, modify, manipulate including daigram elements and convert Visio diagrams to other formats such as PDF, XPS, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, SVG, EMF and more. It is a standalone API and does not require Microsoft Visio or any other software to be installed.VST What is VST File Format?
Files with VST extension are vector image files created with Microsoft Visio and act as template for creating further files. These template files are in binary file format and contain the default layout and settings that are utilized for creation of new Visio drawings. When a VST file is opened in Microsoft Visio, it contains the existing settings to continue working with the document. In general, Visio files are used to create drawings that contain visual objects, flow charts, UML diagram, information flow, organizational charts, software diagrams, network layout, database models, objects mapping and other similar information. Files generated using Visio can also be exported to different file formats such as PNG, BMP, PDF and others.
