textdata (VML Diagram Text)

This element specifies optional supplementary text information associated with a legacy VML shape that is a node in a VML diagram when it cannot otherwise be stored within the DrawingML framework.

[Note: An application could use this to preserve a specific diagram format for backward compatibility, but it is strongly recommended to upgrade all VML shapes to DrawingML shapes. end note]
