------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Feb 7 18:09:09 -0800 2005 ------- Please ignore All previous comments, especially which shadows are correct and which are incorrect. This issue is more about inconsistencies (and other problems), what is correct behavior and what is not, you judge on your own. Inconvenience caused (If any) is regretted. Problem discussed in this issue is somewhat âConvolutedâ and title of this issue should be read as - âInconsistent Shadow Rendering For *Unfilled* Polygonsâ and âErroneous color Addition to *Unfilled* Polygons on Shadow Additionâ and âInability to Add desired colors/Gradient/Hatching to *Unfilled* Polygons with line shadowsâ Here are the exact steps to reproduce the problem - OOo 1.1.0 Draw (1) Click File -> New -> Drawing to open a new drawing. (2) Click âPolygon 45 degreeâ *Unfilled* from the left side Main Tool Bar. (3) Press the left Mouse Button and drag on the drawing area, in order to draw various shapes e.g. one triangle, one rectangle, One Octagon and One Star etc. (4) If a shape is drawn in this way, the upper object Tool bar says that a Shape (it's area) is âINVISIBLEâ which is the desired and expected behavior, because we are using unfilled polygon. (5) After Drawing various shapes (With Unfilled 45 degree Polygon), click anywhere on the drawing, in order to remove selection (If any) (6) Now left Click one shape and select it. (7) Click Shadow Icon on the upper object Tool bar. (8) Now see Upper Object tool bar, it says that shape has a color and it is âwhiteâ?! i.e. On adding a shadow to an unfilled 45 deg polygon, it got filled with color and that too white, on it's own without any obvious reason. It is the First Problem. (9) repeat steps 6, 7 to add shadows to all the shapes. (10) You will notice, some shapes have Boxed/Filled Shadows, while some have Unfilled/Line shadows. At least in my case it *is*. When all shapes have been drawn using the same unfilled 45 deg polygon, then how come some shapes have filled shadows, while some have line. It is the Second Problem. Refer attached file polygon_shadow_2.sxd. Please ignore it's description, which shadow is correct, which is not, as this problem is more about inconsistencies, than to anything else. (11) Now select a shape with a line shadow, by left clicking it and change it's color/gradient/hatching using upper object tool bar, Nothing changes. But in reality it should change and the shadow should also change accordingly âfilled/boxedâor whatever the case may be. It is the third Problem. (12) Select a shape with Boxed shadow and change it's color by step 11. you will be able to do so. Problem could be summarized as- (1) If a user draws an Unfilled polygon it's area is Invisible but as a shadow is added to it, It becomes âcolored with white colorâ on it's own for no obvious reason. (2) If a user is using the same unfilled polygon, then *ALL* shadows should be same - line or boxed (or whatever is correct). But at some places it is line, while in others it is Filled/Boxed. Why this inconsistent behavior? (3) If a user Adds a color/gradient/hatching to an unfilled polygon with line shadows, using the upper object tool bar, then Nothing changes. In reality the desired color/effect should be added and the shadow *Must* also change accordingly. On the other hand behavior of the *Filled* polygons is consistent and expected. Like - (1) If a user is using *Filled* polygons, than *ALL* shadows, which are added, are consistent. (2) If a user draws a *Filled* polygon, Unfills it using Upper Object Tool bar's INVISIBLE option, then it becomes unfilled AND shadow also changes. It is working correctly. (3) If a user adds color/gradient/hatching to a *Filled* polygon using the upper object tool bar, then all effects are visible and the shadow also changes expectedly. Any solutions?
