cxnSp (Connection Shape)

This element specifies a connection shape that is used to connect two sp elements. Once a connection is specified using a cxnSp, it is left to the generating application to determine the exact path the connector takes. That is the connector routing algorithm is left up to the generating application as the desired path might be different depending on the specific needs of the application.

end example]

[Example: Consider the following connector shape that connects two regular shapes.

<cdrcdr:grpSp>
  …
  <cdr:sp>
    <cdr:nvSpPr>
      <cdr:cNvPr id="1" name="Rectangle 1"/>
      <cdr:cNvSpPr/>
      <cdr:nvPr/>
    </cdr:nvSpPr>
    …
  </cdr:sp>
  <cdr:sp>
    <cdr:nvSpPr>
      <cdr:cNvPr id="2" name="Rectangle 2"/>
      <cdr:cNvSpPr/>
      <cdr:nvPr/>
    </cdr:nvSpPr>
    …
  </cdr:sp>
  <cdr:cxnSp>
    <cdr:nvCxnSpPr>
      <cdr:cNvPr id="3" name="Elbow Connector 3"/>
      <cdr:cNvCxnSpPr>
        <a:stCxn id="1" idx="3"/>
        <a:endCxn id="2" idx="1"/>
      </cdr:cNvCxnSpPr>
      <cdr:nvPr/>
    </cdr:nvCxnSpPr>

Attributes

Description

fPublished (Publish to Server)

Specifies whether the shape shall be published with the worksheet when sent to the spreadsheet server. This is for use when interfacing with a document server.

[Example: Consider the following shape that is not published with the worksheet when it is published back on the spreadsheet server.

<cdr:relSizeAnchor>
  …
  <cdr:sp fPublished="0">
  ..
  </cdr:sp>
  …
</cdr:relSizeAnchor>

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema boolean datatype.

macro (Reference to Custom Function)

This element specifies the custom function associated with the chart. [Example: A macro script, add-in function, and so on. end example]

The format of this string shall be application-defined, and should be ignored if not understood.

[Example:

<… macro="DoWork()" >

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema string datatype.

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this element’s content model (CT_Connector) is located in §A.5.2. end note]
