- shapeElementMap
- IDictionary
Collection of ShapeElements to layout.
Remarks
If the collection contains shapes with relative geometry (for example, pasting two shapes A and B, where component shape B is to the above-and-right of component shape A), we will maintain their relative geometry, and position them in an area that can accommodate their geometry. This area may be off-screen. If pasting inside a compound shape, that compound shape will grow as needed to fit the new children. (This scenario will generally happen for copy/paste.)
