The following is the text extracted from Draw help:"Marks the current point or the selected points for deletion. This happensin the event that the point is located on a straight line. If you convert acurve or a polygon with the Convert to Curve icon into a straight line oryou change a curve with the mouse so that a point lies on the straight line,it is removed. The angle from which the point reduction is to take place canbe set by choosing LibreOffice Draw - Grid in the Options dialog box"I understand how to convert a curve to a line, but I cannot get thisEliminate Points tool to work.Also why have an Eliminate Points tool when there is already a tool calledDelete Points, which is very simple to use.Can anybody shed some light on this one or point in the right direction tofind the information.RegardsPeterS--View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Eliminate-points-in-Draw-tp3993440.htmlSent from the Documentation mailing list archive at Nabble.com.-- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected]? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/NetiquetteList archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
