Dear MS Developer Team,
in order to be able to actually fully manipulate shapes on the slide by an add-in, additional information for the different shape types is required. They will allow multiple new use cases for the API, especially by enabling a copy/paste function of shapes as they are displayed on the slide. Here are my most urgent request:
- type: "group": an object of type group should contain all shapes which are gathered in the group and they should be accessible via the API. Currently the identification process stops here, with not way to identify the objects within the group.
- type: "image": an object of the type image should be retrievable by the API in order to copy/paste the shape
- "fill" property of shapes: the "advanced" formatting of a shape (e.g. shadows etc.) should be accessible
All mentioned getters should be accomodated by a corresponding function when inserting a new shape.
I would highly appreciate the development of those features, as they woud allow for new opportunities to leverage the API for all users.
Thank you and best regards
