Priority: medium
Bug ID: 77826
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Draw - Usability - Line Width incrementation too
coarse
Severity: trivial
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: Inherited From OOo
Component: Drawing
Product: LibreOffice
Currently the Line Width label shows 0.5mm increments, which is much to coarse
for a typical formal line drawing.
For good appearance only very few Line Widths should be mixed; similar to a
good document, where a plethora of fonts should not be combined. This can be
avoided by having only a few well chosen named settings:
Suggested good Named Line Width settings:
thin - 0.25mm - auxilary lines, hatchings, etc.
normal - 0.35mm - 1pt - connecting lines, details
fat - 0.5mm - Outlines, Symbols, Handwriting, etc.
ultrafat - 0.7mm - simple outline sketches with little detail
settable and selectable with pen-width selector label.
The above would enforce good drawing practice and ease good looking formal
drawing. They are spaced by a factor of approx. 1.4 (sqrt 2), so that the
drawings almost always look well under almost any scale. Usually only 3 of the
above would be used, a thinner set for detailed drawings, the thicker set for
rough sketches with only a few lines and little detail.
