------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 30 02:26:40 -0700 2005 ------- 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
