/** The AccessibleShape service is implemented by UNO shapes to
    provide accessibility information that describe the shape's features.
    A UNO shape is any object that implements the
    ::com::sun::star::drawing::XShape interface.

    <p>The content of a draw page is modelled as tree of accessible shapes
    and accessible text paragraphs.  The root of this (sub-)tree is the
    accessible draw document view.  An accessible shape implements either
    this service or one of the "derived" services
    AccessibleGraphicShape or AccessibleOLEShape.
    See the section Children in the description of the
    ::com::sun::star::accessibility::XAccessibleContext
    interface support for more details.</p>

    <p>There are two services that extend this one:  the
    AccessibleGraphicShape and the
    AccessibleOLEShape services provide additional interfaces.
    See there for details.</p>

    <p>A shape object is either fully or partially visible on the screen or
    has set the ::com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::DEFUNC
    state to indicate that it is no longer
    actively supported by its parent.</p>

    <p>Each shape object that has not set the DEFUNC state has a valid
    parent.  That is either the containing draw page or a group shape or a
    3D scene object.</p>

    /** Give access to the structural information of a shape.

        <p>You can access the following information for the shape being made
        accessible:
        <ul>
        <li>Role: The role of all shapes is
        com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleRole::SHAPE.</li>
        <li>Name: The name of a shape is its localized type name.</li>
        <li>Description: Descriptions are localized and start with the
            shape's type and style.  After that follow some properties that
            differ from the defaults with respect to the style.
        <li>Children: The children of a shape are either other accessible
            shapes or accessible text paragraphs.  Only group shapes, 3D scene
            shapes, and OLE shapes may contain other shapes as children.
            Some of the shapes may have text paragraphs as (additional)
            children.</li>
        <li>Parent: The parent is either the document view as represented by
            AccessibleDrawDocumentView or a group shape, 3D
            scene shape, or OLE shape.</li>
        <li>Relations: Are set and maintained from the outside.  See the
        service description of the object that has accessible shapes as
        children for details.</li>
        <li>States: The states supported by this service are:
            <ul>
            <li><p>com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::DEFUNC
                is set if an accessible
                shape is not visible but still existent for some reason.
                This should not really happen and is a sign that someone,
                e.g. an AT-Tool holds references to such a shape.  The
                reason for this is that either the owner of the accessible
                shape did not remove it from its list of children or that
                the AT-Tool does not care for the events indicating
                this.</p>
                <p>Usually an object that has the
                com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::DEFUNC
                state set has already
                been disposed and subsequent calls to this object result in
                ::com::sun::star::lang::DisposedException
                exceptions.</p>
                <p>If this state is set then no other of the states below is
                set.  This  is also true for the states that are otherwise
                always set (which  makes "always" more of a sort of
                "normally").</p></li>
            <li>com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::EDITABLE
                is always set.
                This state is interpreted to mean that not only text but
                also other, graphical, properties of a shape can be modified.
                </li>
            <li>com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::ENABLED
                is always set.</li>
            <li>com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::FOCUSABLE

                is set according to
                whether the shape currently has the focus.</li>
            <li>com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::MULTI_LINE
                is set if a shape supports the
                ::com::sun::star::accessibility::XAccessibleText interface.</li>
            <li>com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::OPAQUE
                is set for certain shapes
                with certain attributes like for a filled rectangle.</li>
            <li>com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::RESIZABLE
                is always set.</li>
            <li>com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::SELECTABLE
                is always set.</li>
            <li>com::sun::star::accessibility::AccessibleStateType::SELECTED
                is set according to
