GroupShape class

2.5.42 CT_GroupShape

Target namespace: http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/drawing/2008/diagram

Referenced by: CT_GroupShape, CT_Drawing

This element specifies a group shape that represents one or more shapes grouped together. This shape is to be treated as if it were a regular shape, but instead of being described by a single geometry, it is made up of all the shape geometries encompassed within it. Within a group shape, each shape in the group is specified as it normally would be. However, a single transform can apply to the group of shapes as though it were a single shape.

Child Elements:

nvGrpSpPr: A CT_GroupShapeNonVisual element that specifies the non-visual properties of the group shape.

grpSpPr: A CT_GroupShapeProperties element ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section A.4.1) that specifies group shape properties.

sp: A CT_Shape element that specifies a shape that is a child of this group.

grpSp: A CT_GroupShape element that specifies a group shape that is a child of this group.

extLst: A CT_OfficeArtExtensionList element ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section A.4.1) that enables future extensions to the group shape.
