Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release Aspose.Imaging for Java 2.6.0. This release contains many useful improvements, including the long awaited feature of AutoCAD drawings to raster image conversion. Aspose.Imaging for Java API now supports the conversion of CAD drawing formats such as DXF & DWG to raster image formats such as PNG, BMP, TIFF, JPEG and GIF. Aspose.Imaging for Java API has exposed the VectorRasterizationOptions and CadRasterizationOptions classes to the com.aspose.imaging.ImageOptions package that serve an efficient and easy to use interface for CAD to Raster Image Conversion. Aspose.Imaging APIs already support the feature of re-sizing existing images by passing the new height & width values as parameters to the Image.resize method but in that case the user had to calculate the aspect ratio himself. This is because when the width or height of an image is altered, the image either scales or shrinks to fill the new size. If the changes to the width and height of an image are not in proportion this could lead to stretched and distorted result. Aspose.Imaging for Java 2.6.0 has also exposed overload versions of the resizeWidthProportionally and resizeHeightProportionally methods that can accept ResizeType as second parameter to achieve desired results.
