How to gather all graphical objects

[mmoselhy]

Hi Jason,

I want to check while parsing any graphical object ex: shape, rect ,oval .....etc

is there a way or parent class for these objects so I can for example do this

if(object instanceof graphicalObject)
do sth ??

Thanks a lot for you help

Sorry, no. But I guess they divide into DrawingML, VML (both of which are in their own packages), and the WML host elements which you can enumerate.

Are you using TraversalUtil?

We added an interface SdtElement to represent the various content control classes generated by JAXB. Feel free to contribute something similar for the WML graphical host elements if you find it useful.

Yes, I use TraversalUtil. is there any other way ? as I get performance problem with large documents !?

I'll check it, Sure

Override the shouldTraverse method, so it only traverses into things which might contain your graphical objects. That ought to speed it up.

For what its worth, docx4j 3.0.1 includes several interfaces in the VML package.
