Google Docs Draw shapes

There are forms in Google Docs Draw that are not available in LibreOffice. Such as: equation forms, curved bands, rectangles with corners cut diagonally among others.

Goto https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sd/qa/unit/data/pptx
In the line cshapes.pptx go to the right side and click on text "plain". Save the file. Open it in LibreOffice. It is a collection of all those shapes. Copy and paste the desired shape to your document.
Comment 3 Rodrigo Zimmermann 2017-05-30 19:21:51 UTC
My idea is to give LibreOffice users more shapes to use in documents, without the need to draw them manually or download from templates available by the community on the internet.
Comment 4 Heiko Tietze 2017-05-31 11:39:04 UTC
That's definitely true that more custom shapes are needed. This request was filed in bug 87892 and your examples would we a valuable contribution.

The copyright is on the collection. The definition of the preset shapes are inside the standard ECMA-376, look for the file "presetShapeDefinitions.xml" in "OfficeOpenXML-DrawingMLGeometries". A copy of that file is in http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/oox/source/drawingml/customshapes/. The README describes, how to get a odp-file, but I'm not familiar with such scripts and have not tried it.
