vsdx 0.2.5

vsdx - A python library for processing .vsdx files

vsdx - A python library for processing Visio .vsdx files

Note: this is an early release with limited functionality

example code to find a shape with specific text, remove it, and then save the updated .vsdx file:

from vsdx import VisioFile

filename = 'my_file.vsdx'
# open a visio file
with VisioFile(filename) as vis:
    # get page shapes collection
    shapes = vis.page_objects[0].shapes
    # get shape to remove by its text value
    s = shapes[0].find_shape_by_text('Shape to remove')  # type: VisioFile.Shape
    # remove the shape if found
    if s:
        s.remove()
        # save a new copy
        vis.save_vsdx('shape_removed.vsdx')

Please refer to tests/test.py for more usage examples in the form of pytest tests.
