Hello again,
Just making sure no one replied to this original email - I'm not on the dev@api.openoffice.org list, so if replying please "Reply All." Also, apologies for the cross-post, but if no one can help on dev@, perhaps the users@ list can. Many thanks in advance for any help you can give. -john From: John Hayes [mailto:j...@intouchinteractive.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 5:11 PM To: 'dev@api.openoffice.org' Cc: 'Jason Vanhoy'; 'Jay Heinlein' Subject: UNO Java: adding a motion path Animation to an XShape in Impress Hello List People, I'm completely new to the OOo UNO API, and I have been completely unsuccessful in finding info on adding motion path animations to an XShape in Impress. I was told (in IRC) that it involves querying the com::sun::star::animations::XAnimationNodeSupplier interface from a page in my document, then somehow adding SMIL nodes to the root node through that, but to be honest I don't understand how to do that at all. Could someone please shed some light on this subject for a complete newbie like myself? Example code that adds a motion path animation to a shape would be most helpful, but I'll take whatever I can get right now! Thanks in advance, John PS: Here's some of the code that I have right now - it's not much, and I don't know where to go from here: // get the page XDrawPage p = PageHelper.getDrawPageByIndex(theDocument, 0); // get the AnimationNodeSupplier XAnimationNodeSupplier ans = (XAnimationNodeSupplier)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XAnimationNodeSupplier.cla ss, p); // now get the AnimationNode from the supplier... but what do I do with it? XAnimationNode an = (XAnimationNode)ans.getAnimationNode();
