Shapes in Univer Sheets can be used to create flowcharts, annotations, callouts, and visual guides directly on worksheets.

> Interactive example: [Open the playground](/playground/sheets/shapes)

## Preset Mode

The shape feature is included in the `@univerjs/preset-sheets-advanced` preset.

### Installation

> [!NOTE]
> The `UniverSheetsAdvancedPreset` preset from `@univerjs/preset-sheets-advanced` depends on the `UniverSheetsDrawingPreset` preset at runtime. Please install `@univerjs/preset-sheets-drawing` first.

```bash
npm install @univerjs/preset-sheets-drawing @univerjs/preset-sheets-advanced
```

#### pnpm

```bash
pnpm add @univerjs/preset-sheets-drawing @univerjs/preset-sheets-advanced

## Plugin Mode

### Installation

#### npm

```bash
npm install @univerjs/drawing @univerjs/drawing-ui @univerjs/sheets-drawing @univerjs/sheets-drawing-ui @univerjs-pro/sheets-shape @univerjs-pro/sheets-shape-ui
```

#### pnpm

```bash

```

#### yarn

```bash

```

#### bun

```bash
bun add @univerjs/drawing @univerjs/drawing-ui @univerjs/sheets-drawing @univerjs/sheets-drawing-ui @univerjs-pro/sheets-shape @univerjs-pro/sheets-shape-ui

> [!WARN]
> The shape plugins depend on the drawing plugins. You must also register `UniverDrawingPlugin`, `UniverSheetsDrawingPlugin`, `UniverDrawingUIPlugin`, and `UniverSheetsDrawingUIPlugin` before registering the shape plugins.

### Usage

```typescript
import { UniverSheetsShapePlugin } from '@univerjs-pro/sheets-shape' // [!code ++]
import { UniverSheetsShapeUIPlugin } from '@univerjs-pro/sheets-shape-ui' // [!code ++]
import SheetsShapeUIEnUS from '@univerjs-pro/sheets-shape-ui/locale/en-US' // [!code ++]
import { LocaleType, mergeLocales, Univer } from '@univerjs/core'

import { UniverSheetsDrawingUIPlugin } from '@univerjs/sheets-drawing-ui' // [!code ++]
import SheetsDrawingUIEnUS from '@univerjs/sheets-drawing-ui/locale/en-US' // [!code ++]

import '@univerjs-pro/sheets-shape/facade' // [!code ++]

const univer = new Univer({
  locale: LocaleType.EN_US,
  locales: {
    [LocaleType.EN_US]: mergeLocales(
      DrawingUIEnUS, // [!code ++]
      SheetsDrawingUIEnUS, // [!code ++]
      SheetsShapeUIEnUS, // [!code ++]
    ),
  },
})

univer.registerPlugin(UniverDrawingPlugin) // [!code ++]

## Facade API

Complete Facade API type definitions can be found in the [FacadeAPI](https://docs.univer.ai/reference/facade/univer.md).

### Importing

> [!INFO: Plugin mode note]
> Only plugin mode requires manually importing the Facade package. Preset mode already includes the corresponding Facade package, so no extra import is needed.

```typescript
import '@univerjs-pro/sheets-shape/facade'
```

### Insert Basic Shapes

Call `FWorksheet.insertShape` with common shape creation data. It returns a live facade handle.

```typescript
const fWorkbook = univerAPI.getActiveWorkbook()
const fWorksheet = fWorkbook.getActiveSheet()

const rectShape = fWorksheet.insertShape({
  shapeType: univerAPI.Enum.ShapeTypeEnum.Rect,
  transform: { left: 120, top: 80, width: 240, height: 120 },
  shapeData: {
    fill: {
      fillType: univerAPI.Enum.ShapeFillEnum.SolidFill,
      color: '#e6f4ff',
    },
    stroke: {
      lineStrokeType: univerAPI.Enum.ShapeLineTypeEnum.SolidLine,
      color: '#1677ff',
      width: 2,
    },
  },
})

if (!rectShape) throw new Error('Shape could not be inserted.')
```

### Insert and Connect Connector Shapes

Insert a connector with `FWorksheet.insertShape`, then bind its endpoints through the returned `FConnectorShape` facade.

```typescript
const fWorkbook = univerAPI.getActiveWorkbook()
const fWorksheet = fWorkbook.getActiveSheet()

const leftShape = fWorksheet.insertShape({
  shapeType: univerAPI.Enum.ShapeTypeEnum.RoundRect,
  transform: { left: 80, top: 80, width: 180, height: 100 },
})
const rightShape = fWorksheet.insertShape({
  shapeType: univerAPI.Enum.ShapeTypeEnum.Ellipse,
  transform: { left: 420, top: 200, width: 180, height: 100 },
})
const connectorShape = fWorksheet.insertShape({
  shapeType: univerAPI.Enum.ShapeTypeEnum.BentConnector3,
  transform: { left: 240, top: 130, width: 240, height: 120 },
})

if (!leftShape || !rightShape || !connectorShape) {
  throw new Error('Shapes could not be inserted.')
}

const startSite = leftShape.getConnectionSites()[0]
const rightSites = rightShape.getConnectionSites()
const endSite = rightSites[2] ?? rightSites[0]

if (!startSite || !endSite) throw new Error('Connection site not found.')

connectorShape
  .bindStart(leftShape.getId(), startSite.index)
  .bindEnd(rightShape.getId(), endSite.index)
  .setEndArrow(univerAPI.Enum.ShapeArrowTypeEnum.Arrow)
```

### Update and Remove Shapes

Update and remove a shape directly through its live facade handle.

```typescript
const fWorkbook = univerAPI.getActiveWorkbook()
const fWorksheet = fWorkbook.getActiveSheet()

const firstShape = fWorksheet.getShapes().find(shape => !shape.isConnectorShape())

if (firstShape) {
  firstShape
    .setStrokeColor('#ff4d4f')
    .setStrokeWidth(3)
    .setSolidFill('#fff1f0')

  // Remove the shape later if needed
  const removed = firstShape.remove()
  console.log(removed)
}
```
