API Analysis

If you inspect the SvxShapeText object through API, you have a CustomShapeGeometry property.

• This property result a structure of 6 arrays com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue.
• The 3th array is named AdjustmentValues
• This structure contains a variant named Value
• This Value is a com.sun.star.drawing.EnhancedCustomShapeAdjustmentValue structure
• Depending on the number of handles, the number of structures varies.
• Each structure contains a default Value (type variant).

Default value of shape with one handle:

• For a ring shape, the default value is: 5400
• For a smiley shape: 17520.
• For a frame shape: 2000.

Default values of shape with more handles:

The "left-right-arrow-callout" with 3 yellow handles match to 4 structures:

• Array(0): 5400
• Array(1): 5500
• Array(2): 2700
• Array(3): 8100
