You can use group shape to move shapes but keep their related location, resize & keep size ratio, rotate with same angle etc.
You can group/ungroup multiple shapes using the following code:
import { Component, NgModule, enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { SpreadSheetsModule } from '@mescius/spread-sheets-angular';
import GC from '@mescius/spread-sheets';
import "@mescius/spread-sheets-shapes";
import './styles.css';
@Component({
selector: 'app-component',
templateUrl: 'src/app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
spread: GC.Spread.Sheets.Workbook;
hostStyle = {
width: 'calc(100% - 280px)',
height: '100%',
overflow: 'hidden',
float: 'left'
};
canGroup = true;
group() {
let self = this, spread = self.spread;
let activeSheet = spread.getActiveSheet();
let activeShape = activeSheet.shapes.all().filter(function(sp: GC.Spread.Sheets.Shapes.ShapeBase) {
return sp.isSelected();
});
if (activeShape.length > 1) {
var groupShape = activeSheet.shapes.group(activeShape);
groupShape.isSelected(true);
self.canGroup = false;
}
}
ungroup() {
let self = this, spread = self.spread;
let activeSheet = spread.getActiveSheet();
let activeShape = activeSheet.shapes.all().filter(function(sp: GC.Spread.Sheets.Shapes.ShapeBase) {
return sp.isSelected();
});
if (activeShape.length > 0) {
activeShape.forEach(function(shape: GC.Spread.Sheets.Shapes.ShapeBase) {
activeSheet.shapes.ungroup(shape);
});
self.canGroup = true;
}
}
initSpread($event: any) {
let spread = $event.spread, self = this;
self.spread = spread;
let sheet = spread.getSheet(0);
let rectangle = sheet.shapes.add("rectangle", GC.Spread.Sheets.Shapes.AutoShapeType.rectangle, 100, 60, 150, 150);
let rectangleStyle = rectangle.style();
rectangleStyle.fill.color = "#F4F8EB";
rectangleStyle.line.color = "#82bc00";
rectangle.style(rectangleStyle);
let oval = sheet.shapes.add("oval", GC.Spread.Sheets.Shapes.AutoShapeType.oval, 400, 60, 150, 150);
let ovalStyle = oval.style();
ovalStyle.fill.color = "#e3e3e3";
ovalStyle.line.color = "#e3e3e3";
oval.style(ovalStyle);
let cube = sheet.shapes.add("cube", GC.Spread.Sheets.Shapes.AutoShapeType.cube, 100, 240, 150, 150);
let can = sheet.shapes.add("can", GC.Spread.Sheets.Shapes.AutoShapeType.can, 400, 240, 150, 150);
let shapes = [cube, can];
sheet.shapes.group(shapes);
spread.bind(GC.Spread.Sheets.Events.ShapeSelectionChanged, function() {
let activeSheet = spread.getActiveSheet();
let shapes = activeSheet.shapes.all(), activeShapes = [];
for (let i = 0; i < shapes.length; i++) {
let shape = shapes[i];
if (shape.isSelected()) {
activeShapes.push(shape);
}
}
if (activeShapes.length === 1 && activeShapes[0] instanceof GC.Spread.Sheets.Shapes.GroupShape) {
self.canGroup = false;
} else {
self.canGroup = true;
}
})
}
}
