Calligra/Projects/Autoshapes

What are autoshapes

Autoshapes are popular shapes used often in MS Powerpoint presentations and MS Word documents. They allow you to quickly add some shapes like arrows, rectangles, cubes, connections to the shapes, balloons etc.

Basically it is set of custom geometry shapes.

You don't have to create your shapes with some vector graphic application, you can choose some shape from the limited set of the shapes in the menus under categories.

Bug hunters

Create the files for non-supported shapes and report them as bugs. The documentation is at Microsoft MSDN [1]. Download "Microsoft Office File Formats Documentation" zip file and there important file is [MS-ODRAW].pdf, page 505. There starts the description of the shapes (especially how they look).

For developer

The code that handles autoshapes in *.doc and *.ppt files is in src/calligra/filters/libmso/shapes.cpp

The shapes has to be computed sometimes, sometimes they have to be created with some svg generator. OpenOffice has good support of the shapes, usually you can open the doc/ppt file with OpenOffice and save it as odt/odp and use the svg result saved in the odt/odp and then you rewrite it into code so that it is generic (e.g. position, scale, rotation will change for the shape)
