<proxy> (Shape Reference)

This element specifies an entry in a <r> element rule that contains a reference to one or more shapes that are participating in the rule.

example: 
<o:shapelayout v:ext="edit">
  <o:rules v:ext="edit">
    <o:r id="V:Rule1" type="connector" idref="#_s1036">
      <o:proxy start="" idref="#_s1033" connectloc="0"/>
      <o:proxy end="" idref="#_s1032" connectloc="2"/>
    </o:r>
  </o:rules>
</o:shapelayout>

Attributes

Description

<connectloc> (Connection Location)

Specifies the location on the shape where the connector is attached. The value is an index into the list of connection points defined in the shape - see the @connectlocs attribute. Default is 0. Only used in a connector rule.

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

<end> (End Point Connection Flag)

Specifies whether the connector's end point is connected to the shape. Default is false. Only used in a connector rule.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_TrueFalseBlank simple type (§6.2.3.24).

<idref> (Proxy Shape Reference)

Specifies a reference to a shape in the current document. Default is no value. A shape name is used as the reference mechanism; this is not a relationship ID.

This attribute indicates that the referenced shape is part of this rule. Two or more <proxy> elements are used for an alignment rule. A connector rule uses one or two, indicating which shapes the connector is attached to.

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

<start> (Start Point Connection Flag)

Specifies whether the connector’s start point is connected to the shape. Default is false. Only used in a connector rule. If both start and end are specified the later one takes precedence.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_TrueFalseBlank simple type (§6.2.3.24).
