Interface: ShapeGuide

Defined in: src/types/shape.ts:40

A geometry guide (<a:gd> inside a custGeom's <a:gdLst>): a named construction formula that connection sites, adjust handles, and the text rect can reference by name.

• name is a ST_GeomGuideName token, e.g. 'w2'.
• formula is a ST_GeomGuideFormula — a space-delimited op + args string emitted verbatim, e.g. the multiply-divide op "* / w 1 2" written without the inner space (w × 1 ÷ 2), or 'val 10800'. This is an advanced escape hatch: the arguments are not interpreted, only escaped. The leading operation is checked against the 17 ECMA-376 §20.1.9.11 operations (multiply-divide, add-subtract, add-divide, if-else, abs, at2, cat2, cos, max, min, mod, pin, sat2, sin, sqrt, tan, val — see GEOM_GUIDE_OPS in src/gen/drawingml/geometry.ts for the literal tokens), because an unknown one emits schema-shaped but semantically dead geometry that PowerPoint answers with a repair prompt; such a guide is warned about and skipped.
