This element specifies all locking properties for a graphic frame. These properties inform the generating application about specific properties that have been previously locked and thus should not be changed.

Attributes

Specifies that the corresponding graphic frame cannot be moved. Objects that reside within the graphic frame can still be moved unless they also have been locked. If this attribute is not specified, then a value of false is assumed.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema boolean datatype.

noGrp (Disallow Shape Grouping)

Specifies that the generating application should not allow shape grouping for the corresponding graphic frame. That is it cannot be combined within other shapes to form a group of shapes. If this attribute is not specified, then a value of false is assumed.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema boolean datatype.

noDrilldown (Disallow Selection of Child Shapes)

Specifies that the generating application should not allow selecting of objects within the corresponding graphic frame but allow selecting of the graphic frame itself. If this attribute is not specified, then a value of false is assumed.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema boolean datatype.

noChangeAspect (Disallow Aspect Ratio Change)
