DrawingML

DrawingML is an XML- based markup language for vector graphics developed by Microsoft for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint . It is used from Office 2010 and replaced the Vector Markup Language (VML). From version 4.3 it is also supported by LibreOffice .

DrawingML is used in conjunction with WordprocessingML , SpreadsheetML and PresentationML to display graphic effects.

DrawingML uses English Metric Units (EMUs) as the unit of measurement. These are defined as 1 / 360,000 of a centimeter, but the length depends on the screen settings:

${\ displaystyle EMU = {\ frac {number of pixels * 914400} {screen resolution {\ ddot {o}} sung}}}$
