I think in both cases the ideal would be to extend SdrGrafObj, to
support cropping and 3D properties if PPTX supports that. Of course,
it's good to share code with SdrObjCustomShape in the implementation if
possible.

If that's not possible (takes too much time, too complex), then it's an
option to map the images to custom shapes in our side, but sooner or
later these workarounds cause some problems. So at least some TODO /
FIXME comment would be nice, if you go this way.

Thanks,

Miklos
