HSLF passing

[Willis C White <wh...@us.ibm.com>]

It is my understanding that POI-HSLF does not parse complex objects (clip 
art, word art) from a PowerPoint files. 

(1) has there been any work done to support more then basic shapes and 
text?

(2) is there a way to call out (throw an exception) if an object can not 
be parsed? So that we can know where it is in the file?


If I have misstated or assumed something please forgive my ignorance.

Basically, clip art is a picture shape and word art is a simple shape. Iterate over Slide's shapes and check what 
Shape.getShapeName() returns. Clip art should be Picture objects, word art should be AutoShape objects.

Word art shapes should have special properties that describe the text curvature, etc. For now you have to examine it 
using low-level accessors. Grab EscherOptRecord and see what's inside. This way you can figure out what shape it is.
