<pt> (Shape Path Point)

This element specifies an x-y coordinate within the path coordinate space. This coordinate space is determined by the width and height attributes defined within the <path> element. A point is utilized by one of it's parent elements to specify the next point of interest in custom geometry shape. Depending on the parent element used the point may either have a line drawn to it or the cursor may simply be moved to this new location.

Note:

Specifies a position coordinate within the shape bounding box. It should be noted that this coordinate is placed within the shape bounding box using the transform coordinate system which is also called the shape coordinate system, as it encompasses the entire shape. The width and height for this coordinate system are specified within the <ext> transform element.

<a:xfrm>
  <a:off x="3200400" y="1600200"/>
  <a:ext cx="1705233" cy="679622"/>

Attributes

Description

<x> (X-Coordinate)

Specifies the x coordinate for this position coordinate. The units for this coordinate space are defined by the width of the path coordinate system. This coordinate system is overlayed on top of the shape coordinate system thus occupying the entire shape bounding box. Because the units for within this coordinate space are determined by the path width and height an exact measurement unit cannot be specified here.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_AdjCoordinate simple type (§5.1.12.2).

<y> (Y-Coordinate)

Specifies the y coordinate for this position coordinate. The units for this coordinate space are defined by the height of the path coordinate system. This coordinate system is overlayed on top of the shape coordinate system thus occupying the entire shape bounding box. Because the units for within this coordinate space are determined by the path width and height an exact measurement unit cannot be specified here.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_AdjCoordinate simple type (§5.1.12.2).
