Absolute Anchoring

Absolute Anchoring describes the placement of the drawing within the spreadsheet based upon absolute coordinates. This positioning information includes both position coordinates and extent coordinates. The <absoluteAnchor> element is what specifies this anchoring behavior and a sample usage is shown below.

<xdr:absoluteAnchor>
  <xdr:pos x="2162175" y="1552575"/>
  <xdr:ext cx="1238250" cy="1123950"/>
  …
  </xdr:sp>
</xdr:absoluteAnchor>

In this example, there is a single shape specified using absolute anchoring as its anchoring method.
