Matthew Slyman <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #36 from Matthew Slyman <[email protected]> --- I have a degree in computer science, and I just spent about 1 hour converting a formula into SVG graphic format. This required approximately the following procedure: * Open LibreOffice Math * Write formula * Could not find a way to "export to Draw", "export to SVG", etc. * Open LibreOffice Draw * Menu: Insert/ Object/ Formula * Manually edit the formula (paste in formula code) * Format/ Font size/ make the text incredibly tiny with 5 point text, so that the entire formula would be shown inside the tiny, rigid, NON-RESIZEABLE box thata Insert/Object had placed it inside (the formula was internally overflowing, and being clipped) — of course this NON-RESIZEABLE box was NOT automatically resizing itself to the formula contained inside it… * Context menu: Convert to profile (initially attempted convert to curve, but this resulted in resizing & clipping so had to try another option) * Manually resize resulting formula-profile to width of page. * Manually resize page to vertical size of object * Export as SVG I'm running LO 5.2.3.3 x64 — it baffles me how anyone thinks this procedure is acceptable in 2017. Perhaps with Windows 3.1 in 1992, I would have thought this about normal, but these days, this is well below my expectations for how software should work! Anyone who thinks that being inside this strait-jacket is a "feature" is frankly an idiot.
