Interface: ShapeGuide ​
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.
nameis aST_GeomGuideNametoken, e.g.'w2'.formulais aST_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— seeGEOM_GUIDE_OPSinsrc/gen/drawingml/geometry.tsfor 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.
