This element specifies the adjust values that will be applied to the specified shape. An adjust value is simply a guide that has a value based formula specified. That is, no calculation takes place for an adjust value guide. Instead, this guide specifies a parameter value that is used for calculations within the shape guides.

[Example: Consider the case where the user would like to specify a triangle with it's bottom edge defined not by static points but by using a varying parameter, namely an adjust value. Consider the diagrams and DrawingML shown below. This first triangle has been drawn with a bottom edge that is equal to the height, namely 2. Thus we see in the figure below that the bottom of the triangle matches the bottom of the shape bounding box.

<a:xfrm>
<a:off x="3200400" y="1600200"/>
<a:ext cx="1705233" cy="679622"/>
</a:xfrm>

<a:custGeom>
<a:avLst>
<a:gd name="myGuide" fmla="val 2"/>
</a:avLst>
<a:gdLst/>
<a:ahLst/>
<a:cxnLst/>
<a:rect l="0" t="0" r="0" b="0"/>

<a:pathLst>
<a:path w="2" h="2">
<a:moveTo>
<a:pt x="0" y="myGuide"/>
</a:moveTo>

<a:lnTo>
<a:pt x="2" y="myGuide"/>
</a:lnTo>

<a:lnTo>
<a:pt x="1" y="0"/>
</a:lnTo>

<a:close/>
</a:path>
</a:pathLst>
</a:custGeom>

If however we change the adjust value to half that, namely 1. Then we see the entire bottom edge of the triangle move to now be placed along the vertical midpoint within the shape bounding box. This is because both of the bottom points in this triangle depend on this adjust value for their coordinate positions. The triangle and corresponding DrawingML shown below illustrate this point.

<a:avLst>
<a:gd name="myGuide" fmla="val 1"/>
</a:avLst>
