spTree (Shape Tree)

This element specifies all shapes within a slide. Contained within here are all the shapes, either grouped or not, that can be referenced on a given slide. As most objects within a slide are shapes, this represents the majority of content within a slide. Text and effects are attached to shapes that are contained within the spTree element.

[Example: Consider the following PresentationML slide

<p:sld>

<p:cSld>

<p:spTree>

<p:nvGrpSpPr>

..

</p:nvGrpSpPr>

<p:grpSpPr>

..

</p:grpSpPr>

<p:sp>

..

</p:sp>

</p:spTree>

</p:cSld>

..

</p:sld>

In the above example the shape tree specifies all the shape properties for this slide. end example]
