What's new in v22.9.0

OMR Form Source Encoding

Ability to set the file encoding in the Generate Template method. The following C# sample code demonstrates how OMR form source encoding is performed via API:

Aspose.OMR.Generation.GenerationResult generationResult = null;
using(System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream("source.txt", System.IO.FileMode.Open))
{
	System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
	fs.CopyTo(ms);
	generationResult = omrEngine.GenerateTemplate(ms, Encoding.ASCII);
};

Automatic Column Wrapping

Ability to turn on the automatic column wrapping via the GlobalPageSettings object within Page Setup.

The following C# code snippet demonstrates the configuration of OMR automatic column wrapping via API:

Aspose.OMR.Generation.GlobalPageSettings globalPageSettings = new Aspose.OMR.Generation.GlobalPageSettings() {
	PaperSize = Aspose.OMR.Generation.PaperSize.Tabloid,
	Orientation = Aspose.OMR.Generation.Orientation.Horizontal,
	BubbleColor= Aspose.OMR.Generation.Color.Red,
	Wrap = Aspose.OMR.Generation.WrappingPolicy.Column
};
