21.4.2.3 alg

The algorithm used by the containing layout node. The algorithm defines the behavior of the layout node along with the behavior and layout of the nested layout nodes.

[Example: Consider the following example of alg being used in a DrawingML diagram:

<layoutNode name="arrow">
  <varLst/>
  <alg type="tx" />
  <shape type="upArrow">
    <adjLst>
      <adj idx="2" val=".35" />
    </adjLst>
  </shape>
  <presOf axis="desOrSelf" ptType="node" />
  <ruleLst/>
</layoutNode>

In this example, the tx algorithm is being used to layout text within the containing layout node. end example]

Attributes

type (Algorithm Type)

Specifies the algorithm type.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_AlgorithmType simple type (21.4.7.1).

rev (Revision Number)

The revision number of an algorithm.

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