Bug ID: 91836
Summary: Draw: Polygon should have a separate icon on the
Drawing toolbar
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.5.0 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI

Draw: Polygons should have a separate icon on the Drawing toolbar
Current Situation
1. Open LibreOffice Draw
2. In the Drawing toolbar you will notice that "Polygon Filled", "Polygon (45)
Filled", "Polygon" and "Polygon (45)" are situated under the "Curve" icon in
the toolbar.
Proposal
Move all the Polygon icons to a separate "Polygon" icon with drop down menu in
the Drawing toolbar. This will leave "Curve", "Curve Filled", "Freeform Line,
Filled" and "Freeform Line" under the "Curve" icon.
Justifications
1) Polygons are not generally thought of as curves but objects made up of
straight edges (my personal subjective opinion).
2) By placing the polygon icons under "Curve" it makes them less likely to be
discovered as a user may think that only curves or freeform lines are available
in the drop down menu.
3) When thinking of polygons, I would generally think of a closed object,
whereas curves or freeform lines can be open objects.
Note: This is just a suggestion based on my personal opinion, happy to consider
comments or thoughts. The issue should have some input from the UX team if it
is considered further.
Tested as far back as LibreOffice 3.5 and up to LibreOffice 5.1 Alpha. The UI
is the same in both.
