Bug ID: 156208
Summary: Improve help on dimension lines
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]

The dimension line dialog has a lot of settings on the left side. But their
description does not really help to understand their purpose. The ODF 1.3
standard has the same problem. This will now be improved in ODF 1.4. Now images
are added to illustrate which part of a dimension line is affected by which
attribute and the description defines some technical terms.
I think it would be good to use the same approach in LibreOffice help and
guides. You can find these images in the attachment of the related OASIS-2949
issue [1] or in the draft of ODF 1.4 [2]. The descriptions there refer to the
related ODF attributes but the images themselves have only numbers. So it is
possible to take these images and refer to the settings in the dialog.
[BTW, a <draw:measure> position is determined by two 'reference points'.
LibreOffice has not UI for them. Related reports are bug 90027 and bug 137126.]
