Currently, it is nearly impossible to scale a whole image without corrupting its
layout. This comes from the fact that OOdraw has its own understanding of
"scaling". Only dimensions of objects are scaled, not their properties. This
form of scaling is often useful during the initial layout of an image, but not
much helpful when reusing an image or parts of it in another context, since this
often requires the adjustment of its size by keeping its scale (the scale of
everything). Since there is only one word, let me name this "true scaling". The
effect of true scaling should be the same as applying a scaling coordinate
system transformation to the original. The transformation should affect all
properties of an image such as text size, text borders, line thickness and line
marker sizes.

There are at least two other issues, that request parts of true scaling:

  Issue 11910 "line thickness"
  Issue 15835 "text size"

Issue 15835 was closed with the questionable argument, that all ancestors of
OOoffice had the same funny understanding of scaling, and therefore it is
correct and sufficient as is. But even if all vector graphics programs so far
would have implemented only "partial scaling" (which is not the case), it would
be a great feature, if OOoffice could provide "both forms" of scaling.
