aspose.words.drawing module

The aspose.words.drawing module provides classes that allow to create and modify drawing objects.

All drawing objects in Microsoft Word documents are represented by instances of the Shape and GroupShape classes. An object of the Shape class is a node in a document and can represent a picture, textbox, AutoShape or an OLE object.

The classes in this module support the latest (Word 2007 - 2013 DrawingML) and the earlier (pre Word 2007 - Office Art) shapes.
