This element specifies the existence of a single shape. A shape can either be a preset or a custom geometry, defined using the <DrawingML> framework. In addition to a geometry each shape can have both visual and non-visual properties attached. Text and corresponding styling information can also be attached to a shape. This shape is specified along with all other shapes within either the shape tree or group shape elements.
