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.
