ShapeTypes

ShapeTypes

The following table lists all shapes supported in Draw and Impress documents. They come from the com.sun.star.drawing. Each shape is based on com.sun.star.drawing.Shape. Additionally, there are five services in the module com.sun.star.drawing that most of the shapes have in common:

com.sun.star.drawing.Text, com.sun.star.drawing.LineProperties, com.sun.star.drawing.FillProperties and com.sun.star.drawing.ShadowProperties handle shape formatting, whereas com.sun.star.drawing.RotationDescriptor controls rotation and shearing. The section General Drawing Properties below discusses shape formatting in more detail. Refer to the section Shape Operations for information on rotation and shearing.

The service com.sun.star.drawing.Text is different from other Text services. It consists of the service com.sun.star.drawing.TextProperties and the interface com.sun.star.text.XText that was introduced in the chapter First Steps. Drawing text does not supports text contents other than paragraphs consisting of character strings.

An x denotes which of these services are supported by each shape. The rightmost column shows the services, interfaces and properties that are specific for the various shapes.
