extent (Drawing Object Size)

This element specifies the extents of the parent DrawingML object within the document (i.e. its final height and width).

[Example: Consider a DrawingML picture which is present in a WordprocessingML document and has an equal height and width. This object would be specified as follows:

<wp:anchor relativeHeight="10" allowOverlap="true">
…
<wp:extent cx="1828800" cy="1828800"/>
…
</wp:anchor>

The extent element specifies via its attributes that this object has a height and width of 1828800 EMUs (English Metric Units). end example]

Description

cx (Extent Length)

Namespace: .../drawingml/2006/main
