As you can see from the above figure that the root of the object model is the Diagram object. A brief description of few of the objects is provided below for the introductory purposes.

PageCollection/Page

Diagram object contains the PageCollection, which represents the collection of all the Page objects in a Diagram.

ShapeCollection/Shape

Page object contains the ShapeCollection, which represents the collection of all the Shape objects in a Page . Shape object contains elements that define a shape in a Master, Page, or group shape element.

ConnectCollection/Connect

Page object contains the ConnectCollection, which represents the collection of all the Connect objects in a Page . Connect object represents a connection between two shapes in a drawing, such as a line and a box in an organization chart.

StyleSheetCollection/StyleSheet

Represents a style defined in a document.

MasterCollection/Master

Contains elements that define a master for the document. A master is a shape on a stencil that you use repeatedly to create drawings. When you drag a shape from a stencil onto the drawing page, the shape becomes an instance of that master, and a local copy of the master is included in the document.

DocumentProperties

Contains document property elements such as the document’s title, author, and so on.

HeaderFooter

Fill

Contains the current fill formatting values for the shape and the shape’s drop shadow, including pattern, foreground color, and background color.

Line

Contains elements that control line attributes for a shape, such as pattern, weight, and color. These elements determine whether the line ends are formatted (for example, with an arrowhead), the size of line end formats, radius of the rounding circle applied to the line, and line cap style (round or square).

Geoms

Contains a collection of Geom elements.

Chars

Contains a collection of Char object which contains text styles of the shape.

Text

Contains the text of a shape.

XForm

Contains elements specifying general positioning information about a shape.

TextXForm

Contains elements that specify positioning information about a shape’s text block.

Hyperlink object contains elements for creating multiple jumps between a shape or drawing page and another drawing page, another file, or a Web site.

MasterShape

This attribute may only be present in shapes that are members of a group shape, and the group is an instance of a master. The attribute contains an ID that references the corresponding sub-shape in the master.

FieldCollection/Field

Field object contains elements that specify functions and formulas inserted in the shape’s text.
