------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jan 18 15:42:52 +0000 2008 ------- I would like to add my voice to this feature request. My impression is that many people involved don't really understand the issue, or why this feature would be useful. Here is a use case which I encounter frequently in my own work and I'm sure many other people do as well: * Create diagrams, flow charts or other images using OpenOffice.org Draw * Import the resulting images in a Writer document * Adjust the scale in order to fit the images in the document correctly * Preferably, have the images either be linked to the originals, or have them be editable inside the Writer document The expectation in the third step is that the image will be scaled in its entirety (including text sizes, line widths, etc.), just like a bitmap would be, but keeping the advantages of vector graphics (smooth scaling). Otherwise, the images will be distorted, with text overflowing its boundaries and contents being obscured by lines which are too thick, etc. Currently there is no way to do this with OpenOffice.org. There are many different ways of getting a drawing from Draw into Writer and they all have problems: * Importing the drawing as an OLE object: incorrect scaling (and also unnecessary whitespace around the drawing) * Pasting the drawing as a GDI metafile: not linked to original drawing anymore, and not editable * Importing the drawing as a bitmap: pixelation, no smooth scaling, not linked to original and not editable --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
