14.2.2.28 shapedefaults (New Shape Defaults)

This element specifies the defaults that are used when creating new shapes. These defaults are stored once per document.

[Example: Consider a case in which an application chooses to store the highest shape ID it has used in the document thus far. This could be used to support the generation of new shape IDs:

<o:shapedefaults v:ext="edit" spidmax="1029"/>

end example]

Attributes

Description

allowincell (Allow in Table Cell)

Specifies whether the shape is allowed to be placed in a table cell. Default is false.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_TrueFalse simple type (§15.1.2.5).

ext (VML Extension Handling Behavior)

Namespace: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml

Specifies an optional value that indicates how applications that implement VML should interpret extensions not defined as part of the original specification of core VML.

[Rationale: This part of the original VML specification is included to assist applications that leverage existing VML support in implementing the Office Open XML Format. end rationale]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_Ext simple type (§14.1.3.2).

fill (Shape Fill Toggle)

Specifies whether the closed path is filled. Default is true. This attribute is overridden by the fill on attribute.

[Example:

<v:shape … fill="f" fillcolor="red" …>
</v:shape>
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Vml.Office.ShapeDefaults-im

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_TrueFalse simple type (§15.1.2.5).

fillcolor (Default Fill Color)

Specifies the default shape fill color. Default is no value. Colors are typically specified as either a named color, such as red, or six hexadecimal digits representing the red, green and blue values of the color, such as #00FF30. Full details are specified in the simple type description.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_ColorType simple type (§15.1.2.3).

spidmax (Shape ID Optional Storage)

Specifies an optional value that allows applications a mechanism for storing information they need to persist related to shape IDs. Default is 0.

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

stroke (Shape Stroke Toggle)

Specifies whether the path defining the shape is stroked with a solid line. The stroke element (§14.1.2.21) defines other strokes. The on attribute of the stroke element overrides this attribute. Default is true.

[Example:

<v:shape … fillcolor="red"
  stroke="false" strokecolor="blue"…>
</v:shape>
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Vml.Office.ShapeDefaults-im

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_TrueFalse simple type (§15.1.2.5).

strokecolor (Shape Stroke Color)

Specifies the primary color of the brush to use to stroke the path of the shape. Default is black. The color attribute of the stroke element (§14.1.2.21) overrides this. Colors are typically specified as either a named color, such as red, or six hexadecimal digits representing the red, green and blue values of the color, such as #00FF30. Full details are specified in the simple type description.

[Example:

<v:shape … strokecolor="red" …>
</v:shape>
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Vml.Office.ShapeDefaults-im

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_ColorType simple type (§15.1.2.3).

style (Shape Styling Properties)

Specifies the CSS2 styling properties of the shape. The CSS2 (Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2) specification, a Recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium, is available here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2.

This attribute uses a semi-colon delimited list of “name:value” pairs, the syntax defined by section 4.1.8 of the CSS2 specification for grouped declarations (without the surrounding braces). The following tables define the allowed properties and the VML treatment of each.

[Example:

<v:shape … style=’position:absolute;width:100pt;height:50pt’ … >
</v:shape>

end example]
