Hi all, Looking at the shape-related code in different parts of POI I got the impression that the translation from EscherRecord objects to Shape objects could be done the same way regardless where the records come from.
The code from HSLF could be a quite good starting point to implement such a common shape model, at least it would be better than what exists e.g. in HSSF and HWPF. I was able to use the model, with some adjustments, to parse drawings from word. It should be possible to refactor the model to not depend on the document it is loaded from and use it for all document types. Are there any plans to implement such a common shape model? Are there any reasons not to have it (besides that somebody will have to implement it)?
