Thorsten suggested to put +it in such a namespace and keep original (incomplete) geometry for +backward compatibility, before we can extend the ODF. that's why you +will see 2 of them in cases where some of the new commands was +needed. + +In order to convert preset shapes to LO's enhanced custom shape, +we need to load shape definition of preset shapes. The procedure +to convert the definition from OOXML spec for LO is documented +in `oox/source/drawingml/customshapes/README.md`. +The `oox/source/drawingml/customshapes/generate.sh` script generate pptx +files for single presets and also for all presets +`cshape-all.pptx`. The `cshape-all.pptx` file is then loaded into Impress +build with debug enabled in `oox` and the command line output contains +information. The generated definition is `oox-drawingml-cs-presets`. + +Check `CustomShapeProperties::initializePresetDataMap()` to see how +generated presets data are loaded into LO. +While importing presets, we prefix the name with "ooxml-" so +that we can detect it on export as save it again as preset. + +The generated pptx files +can be used when debugging bugs in custom shapes import/export. also +the cshape-all.pptx can be used to test the round trips. there's small +problem with these pptx as they cannot be imported into powerpoint, +but that can be fixed quickly. when fixed, we can use it to +test powerpoint odp export and see how complete it is regarding +custom shapes. OpenXML SDK might help when fixing `cshape-all.pptx` + +<https://github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK> + +Also, "OOXML Viewer VSCode Extension" is a useful tool for debugging +OOXML documents. + +<https://github.com/yuenm18/ooxml-viewer-vscode> + +## Export +Here is how LO's enhanced custom shapes are exported: + +* Shape name is `ooxml-*` - they are imported from ooxml, export as is. +* Denylist - ODF presets that has OOXML equivalent. + We convert adjustment values case by case. Microsoft Office + is rather strict about adjustment values, either none of them + are provided so that default values are taken, or the exact set + of handles have to be provided. In some cases we are converting + from the preset with less handles to the one with more handles + so that default values suitable for the odf one need to be + provided. +* Allowlist - ODF presets that has OOXML equivalent but looks a bit +different, export them as `PolyPolygon`. + +Check Andras Timar's presentation[1] and `ShapeExport::WriteCustomShape()` +for further detail. + +## Future Works +Because we have to make sure that all the roundtrips +like PPTX --> ODP --> PPTX work correctly and doesn't lose data. +the only problematic part is probably saving custom shapes (ie. not +presets) to PPTX. that part of code predates work on custom shapes +and is unable to export general custom shapes yet. It will need a bit +of work as LO has more complex equations than `DrawingML`. other parts +should work OK, PPTX --> ODP should work and don't lose any +data. presets should already survive PPTX --> ODP --> PPTX roundtrip + +[1] <https://archive.fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/drawingml/attachments/slides/1184/export/events/attachments/drawingml/slides/1184/andras_timar_fosdem_2016.pdf> |
