Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

1. Use “DiagramMasterSetting” to manage masters of the Comparison.Diagram.

   setMasterPath(String);// - User set custom master path
   setUseSourceMaster(boolean);// - true - use master from source and target together, false - use default or custom master
   

   Example:

   • UseSourceMaster – false without MasterPath - use default master path
   • UseSourceMaster – false with MasterPath - use custom master path
   • UseSourceMaster – true - use master from source and target documents together

   Use “OriginalSize” to set document size when comparing image with different formats, this size will be used when document is converted to the picture.

   OriginalSize -> setWidth(...);// int
   OriginalSize -> setHeigth(...);// int;
   

2. Inserted, deleted and style changed items styles setting used for set font color, highlight color , styles(bold, italic, underline, strike through) and tags for marked changes in result document.

   settings.getInsertedItemsStyle().setFontColor(Color.getBrown());
   settings.getInsertedItemsStyle().setHighlightColor(Color.getRed());
   settings.getInsertedItemsStyle().setBeginSeparatorString("<inserted>");
   settings.getInsertedItemsStyle().setEndSeparatorString("</inserted>");
   

   settings.getDeletedItemsStyle().setFontColor(Color.getAquamarine());
   settings.getDeletedItemsStyle().setHighlightColor(Color.getBlue());
   settings.getDeletedItemsStyle().setBeginSeparatorString("<deleted>");
   settings.getDeletedItemsStyle().setEndSeparatorString("</deleted>");
   

   settings.getStyleChangedItemsStyle().setFontColor(Color.getAqua());
   settings.getStyleChangedItemsStyle().setHighlightColor(Color.getGreen());
   settings.getStyleChangedItemsStyle().setBeginSeparatorString("<style>");
   settings.getStyleChangedItemsStyle().setEndSeparatorString("</style>");
   

3. Getting Image representation of document pages.

   Comparer comparer = new Comparer();
   ComparisonSettings cs = new ComparisonSettings();
   cs.setStyleChangeDetection(true);
   
   
   //compare document
   ICompareResult result = comparer.compare(sourcePath, targetPath, cs);
   result.saveDocument(resultPath);
   
   
   //get list of pages
   List<PageImage> resultImages = comparer.convertToImages(resultPath);
   
   
   //save them as bitmap to separate folder
   if (!new File(savePath + "/Result Pages").exists())
      new File(savePath + "/Result Pages").mkdir();
   
   
   for (PageImage image : resultImages)
   {
        BufferedImage bitmap = ImageIO.read(image.getPageStream());
        ImageIO.write(bitmap, "png", new FileOutputStream(savePath + "/Result Pages/result_" + image.getPageNumber() + ".png"));
   }
