2.5.53 CT_GroupShape

Target namespace: https://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 just 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 of the shapes that make up the group are specified just as they normally would. The idea behind grouping elements however is that 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 this group shape.

grpSpPr : A CT_GroupShapeProperties [ISO/IEC-29500-1] section A.4.1 element 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 [ISO/IEC-29500-1] section A.4.1 element that allows future extensions to the group shape.
