Inline shape
============

Word allows a graphical object to be placed into a document as an inline
object. An inline shape appears as a ``<w:drawing>`` element as a child of
a ``<w:r>`` element.


Candidate protocol -- inline shape access
-----------------------------------------

The following interactive session illustrates the protocol for accessing an
inline shape::

    >>> inline_shapes = document.body.inline_shapes
    >>> inline_shape = inline_shapes[0]
    >>> assert inline_shape.type == MSO_SHAPE_TYPE.PICTURE

The Shapes and InlineShapes properties on Document hold references to things
like pictures in the MS API.

* Height and Width
* Borders
* Shadow
* Hyperlink
* PictureFormat (providing brightness, color, crop, transparency, contrast)
* ScaleHeight and ScaleWidth
* HasChart
* HasSmartArt
* Type (Chart, LockedCanvas, Picture, SmartArt, etc.)

Minimal XML
-----------

.. highlight:: xml

This XML represents my best guess of the minimal inline shape container that
Word will load::

    <w:r>
      <w:drawing>
        <wp:inline>
          <wp:extent cx="914400" cy="914400"/>
          <wp:docPr id="1" name="Picture 1"/>
          <a:graphic xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main">
            <a:graphicData uri="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">

              <!-- might not have to put anything here for a start -->

            </a:graphicData>
          </a:graphic>
        </wp:inline>
      </w:drawing>
    </w:r>


Specimen XML
------------

.. highlight:: xml

A ``CT_Drawing`` (``<w:drawing>``) element can appear in a run, as a peer of,
for example, a ``<w:t>`` element. This element contains a DrawingML object.
WordprocessingML drawings are discussed in section 20.4 of the ISO/IEC spec.

This XML represents an inline shape inserted inline on a paragraph by itself.
The particulars of the graphical object itself are redacted::

    <w:p>
      <w:r>
        <w:rPr/>
          <w:noProof/>
        </w:rPr>
        <w:drawing>
          <wp:inline distT="0" distB="0" distL="0" distR="0" wp14:anchorId="1BDE1558" wp14:editId="31E593BB">
            <wp:extent cx="859536" cy="343814"/>
            <wp:effectExtent l="0" t="0" r="4445" b="12065"/>
            <wp:docPr id="1" name="Picture 1"/>
            <wp:cNvGraphicFramePr>
              <a:graphicFrameLocks xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main" noChangeAspect="1"/>
            </wp:cNvGraphicFramePr>
            <a:graphic xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main">
              <a:graphicData uri="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">

                <!-- graphical object, such as pic:pic, goes here -->

              </a:graphicData>
            </a:graphic>
          </wp:inline>
        </w:drawing>
      </w:r>
    </w:p>
