Can drawings be selected via apps script in Google Docs?
I have a document with Google drawings that for whatever reason are not selectable within the UI. I am not sure how they were ever placed.
I was hoping to write a script to delete them, but I'm not finding a function that applies to drawings specifically.
I'm wondering if anyone knows a trick to accomplish this..
The closest thing I found was their sample for deleting images:
function myFunction() {
var body = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody();
// Remove all images in the document body.
var imgs = body.getImages();
for (var i = 0; i < imgs.length; i++) {
// Retrieve the paragraph's attributes.
var atts = imgs[i].getAttributes();
// Log the paragraph attributes.
for (var att in atts) {
Logger.log(att + ":" + atts[att]);
}
imgs[i].removeFromParent();
}
}

Probably came from Microsoft .doc file conversion to gdoc.
