Shapes
Every PowerPoint Shape, One Definition
A block with shape draws one of PowerPoint's 187 preset shapes, with optional text inside, a fill, a line and effects. The preview evaluates the preset's DrawingML geometry and the PPTX export writes the native preset, so both draw the same shape.

Beyond the Presets
A custom path (SVG path data) draws an outline of your own. A slide's shapes place overlay shapes and connectors over the composed slide, and a connector follows the shapes it joins. Every preset is also a picture mask: an image block's shape crops the picture to it.
