Deconstructing iWork Shapes and Drawable Objects

The first section of this chapter deconstructs the XML used in various iWork shapes, specifically Keynote shapes in a sample presentation. The XML structure for each shape is discussed, and the notable elements and attributes of these shapes are explained in detail.

An understanding of these sample shapes may be useful for iWork developers who want to modify or create their own shapes in Keynote presentations or Pages documents.

In the second section of this chapter, the basic structure of iWork drawable objects is defined. All of the shapes in the iWork XML shemas share a number of these structures, such as geometry, style, binary, path, image, and so on.
