Bug ID: 105988
Summary: Improve help for "Eliminate Points" in section "Edit
Points Bar"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: rb.hensc...@t-online.de
Draw a polygon with a lot of points in Draw or Impress. Switch to point edit
mode. You should get the "Edit Points Bar", if not you can enable it in menu
View.
This toolbar has on the right side an icon for the command
.uno:BezierEliminatePoints with tooltip "Eliminate Points".
Open the help text for it, e.g. by search for "Eliminate Points".
The text is totally wrong and does not describe the feature.
Especially these parts in the help are nonsense:
"Marks the current point or the selected points for deletion."
--> The tool does not "mark" anything.
--> The tool does not work on selected points (plural!)
"If you convert a curve or a polygon with the Convert to Curve icon into a
straight line or ..., it is removed."
--> The tool "Convert to Curve" is unrelated.
The help text is identical to the text in StarOffice 5.2, beside the
inaccuracies, which slipped in by translations from German to English.
Actually this tool enables a mode where you can interactively delete a point in
a polyline or polygon by dragging the point with the mouse. Look video
