AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
ShapeTypeenumerations define a wide variety of shapes available in Google Slides, categorized as basic shapes, arrows, symbols, callouts, and flowchart symbols, among others. -
These enumerations are used to programmatically select and manipulate shapes within Google Slides presentations, utilizing the
SlidesApp.ShapeTypeobject. -
Many of the
ShapeTypeenumerations correspond to the ECMA-376 standard for Office Open XML File Formats, ensuring compatibility. -
Flowchart creation is a primary use case for
ShapeType, with numerous enumerations representing specific flowchart symbols like process, decision, and connector shapes. -
While most shapes are supported, the
UNSUPPORTEDproperty signifies shapes that are not yet implemented or recognized within Google Slides.
The shape types. Many of these shapes correspond to predefined shapes from the ECMA-376 standard. More information on those shapes can be found in the description of the "ST_ShapeType" simple type in section 20.1.10.55 of "Office Open XML File Formats - Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference", part 1 of ECMA-376 5th edition.
To call an enum, you call its parent class, name, and property. For example,
SlidesApp.ShapeType.TEXT_BOX.
