L.4.12.3.1.1 Absolute Anchoring

Absolute Anchoring describes the placement of the drawing within the spreadsheet based upon absolute coordinates. This positioning information includes both position coordinates and extent coordinates. The absoluteAnchor element is what specifies this anchoring behavior and a sample usage is shown below.

<xdr:absoluteAnchor>
  <xdr:pos x="552450" y="390525"/>
  <xdr:ext cx="2733675" cy="2105025"/>
  <xdr:sp>
    <xdr:nvSpPr> … </xdr:nvSpPr>
    <xdr:spPr> … </xdr:spPr>
    <xdr:style> … </xdr:style>
    <xdr:txBody> … </xdr:txBody>
  </xdr:sp>
  <xdr:clientData/>
</xdr:absoluteAnchor>

In this example, there is a single shape specified using absolute anchoring as its anchoring method.
