The Shape Coordinate System

Now that we have a width and height specified, we can now move into the explanation of the shape coordinate system. The shape coordinate system has both an x and y component and starts with a value of (0,0) in the upper left corner of the shape. The width and height of this coordinate system are specified by the extent of the shape, which was recently specified above, and the units are once again EMUs. This coordinate system is used to define the locations of many of the shape attributes.
