Draw Direct Shape Position Size - Position

The ooodev.format.draw.direct.position_size.position_size.Position class is used to modify the values seen in Fig. 862 of a shape.

Fig. 862 Shape Size and Position Dialog

Set Position of a Shape

Setting position of the shape is done by using the Position class.

from ooodev.format.draw.direct.position_size.position_size import Position
# ... other code

rect = slide.draw_rectangle(x=x, y=y, width=width, height=height)
pos = Position(pos_x=38, pos_y=18)
pos.apply(rect.component)

The results of the setting the shape position can be seen in Fig. 863.

Note

pos_x and pos_y are the coordinates of the shape inside the draw page borders. This is the same behavior as the dialog box. If the draw page has a border of 10mm and the shape is positioned at 0 mm, 0 mm in the dialog box then the shape is actually at 10 mm, 10 mm relative to the draw page document.

Get Shape Position

We can get the position of the shape by using the Position.from_obj() method.

from ooodev.format.draw.direct.position_size.position_size import Position
# ... other code

# get the position from the shape
pos2 = Position.from_obj(rect.component)
assert pos2 is not None
