relationtable (Diagram Relationship Table)

This element specifies a list that describes the relationships among diagram nodes.

[Example: The following table describes the parent-child relationships for shapes in an organization chart. The first entry describes the top-level shape in the diagram. The next two rows describe that the shapes are subordinates to the first shape. Shape 1029 is a subordinate of shape 1028. Shape 1032, a connector in this case, is in between the two.

<o:relationtable v:ext="edit">

<o:rel v:ext="edit" idsrc="#_s1028" iddest="#_s1028"/>

<o:rel v:ext="edit" idsrc="#_s1029" iddest="#_s1028" idcntr="#_s1032"/>

<o:rel v:ext="edit" idsrc="#_s1030" iddest="#_s1028" idcntr="#_s1033"/>

</o:relationtable>
