Why to Convert
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a vector graphics format that is used to store and exchange graphics data. It is widely used in the engineering and technical drawing fields. XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) is a markup language used to create user interfaces in Windows applications. It is used to define user interface elements such as buttons, text boxes, and labels. Converting CGM to XAML is necessary for Android applications that require a user interface.
How Aspose.Total Helps for CGM to XAML Conversion
Integrating CGM to XAML conversion feature inside Android applications is easy with Aspose.Total for Android via Java. This package includes two APIs, Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Slides for Android via Java, which can be used to export CGM to PPTX and then convert PPTX to XAML. The process is simple and can be completed in two steps.
In the first step, you can use Aspose.PDF for Android via Java to export CGM to PPTX. This API provides a wide range of features for manipulating PDF documents. It can be used to convert CGM to PPTX without any loss of data.
In the second step, you can use Aspose.Slides for Android via Java to convert PPTX to XAML. This API provides a comprehensive set of features for creating, manipulating, and converting presentations. It can be used to convert PPTX to XAML with ease.
By using Aspose.Total for Android via Java, you can easily integrate CGM to XAML conversion feature inside your Android applications. This package provides two powerful APIs that can be used to export CGM to PPTX and then convert PPTX to XAML.
Android API to Export CGM to XAML
- Open CGM file using Document class
- Convert CGM to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to XAML format using
save
method and set
Xamlas SaveFormat
Get Started with Java File Format APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Android via Java directly from Maven and install Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Slides for Android via Java in your applications.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load CGM file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.cgm");
// save CGM as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// save the presentation as Xaml format
presentation.save("output.xaml", SaveFormat.Xaml);
Open Password Protected CGM File in Android Apps
While loading CGM file format, your document might be password protected. Aspose.PDF for Android via Java allows you open encrypted documents as well. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize new instance of the Document class and pass filename and password as arguments.
// open CGM document
Document doc = new Document("input.cgm", "Your@Password");
// save CGM as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Create Thumbnail Image of XAML File in Android Applications
After converting CGM to XAML, you can also create thumbnail images of your output document. By using rich in feature Aspose.Slides for Android via Java you can generate thumbnail images of the slides by creating and instance of the Presentation class. After that, you can obtain the reference of any desired slide by using its ID or index and get the thumbnail image of the referenced slide on a specified scale.
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a XAML file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("output.xaml");
// access the first slide
ISlide sld = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0);
// create a full scale image
BufferedImage image = sld.getThumbnail(1f, 1f);
// save the image to disk in PNG format
ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", new java.io.File("Thumbnail_out.png"));
