--- Comment #18 from Shoaib <[email protected]> --- Moreover, the limitation also extends to entire tables. While tables are essential elements in various documents, such as reports, presentations, and data representation, applying gradients to the entire table to provide a more aesthetically pleasing layout is not possible in ODF 1.3. To address this limitation and improve the capabilities of ODF, developers and contributors interested in this enhancement need to devise a conceptual solution. This means coming up with a well-thought-out proposal for extending the ODF file format to include support for gradients in both individual cells and whole tables. Before diving into the implementation phase, a thorough concept needs to be established to ensure that the proposed extension aligns with the goals of ODF and meets the needs of users and the broader open-source community. This concept should take into account factors such as file size impact, performance considerations, backward compatibility, and how other office suites would handle the new features. Once the concept is finalized and agreed upon, developers can begin the implementation process. Implementing changes to an established file format requires careful attention to detail and rigorous testing to guarantee smooth integration with existing applications and a seamless user experience. By overcoming this limitation and allowing gradients for single cells and entire tables, ODF would become an even more powerful and versatile file format, enabling users to create visually engaging and expressive documents across different office suites and platforms.https://yojoke.com/ In conclusion, addressing the current limitation in ODF 1.3 related to gradients requires careful planning and thoughtful consideration of the proposed extension. The collaborative efforts of developers and contributors in enhancing the ODF file format will further empower users with more creative and visually appealing document creation possibilities. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
