Hi all,
Hi Regina,
user often ask why they cannot rotate pictures in Writer, e.g issue
3545.
There exists a tip to copy a picture from Draw to Writer, then it can be
rotated. But that Draw-picture is different from a Writer- picture.
I have made a table to collect the differences between
Writer-pictures and
Draw-pictures.
Thanks a lot !
FYI, there was a little mismatch with the issue number, and I fixed it
on the wiki
It is currently in my personal area on the Media-wiki. If you find it
useful
and you know a suitable place, please tell me where to put it.
I think it it the right location. Let's wait for other opinions though

That's a very good idea. As you probably read in the issue, I took
over the
task, and I'll use this wiki page to report any progress and step done.
The idea is, as discussed with Oliver and Armin, to reuse some Draw
features in
Writer, like (image rotation). There is a lot to do and any help is
welcome.
Armin's and my idea is mainly removing the Writer implementation for
images/pictures, introduce all its features missing in the Drawing Layer
implementation for images/pictures and use the Drawing Layer
implementation for images/pictures in Writer.
Our idea is quite old, but we never got the resources to work on it.
Unfortunately, all the work we had done in preparation is lost. This
lost work mainly covers something like you Regina had done. It
summarized all the features of the Writer implementation which are
currently not available in the Drawing Layer implementation. It also
contained some planning of the corresponding implementation. But, it is
lost and needs to be done again.
The work is not completely lost.
I have found the wiki page
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/Unification_of_Graphic_Objects_and_Embedded_Objects
It contains more or less the summary of the ideas from Armin, Oliver
Specht, Henning Brinkmann and myself regarding our idea to remove the
Writer implementation for pictures/images/graphics and embedded object
in favor of the Drawing Layer implementations.
There are also given some details on the planned implementation.
Best regards, Oliver.
Current work in progress :
- I expermiented some hack (adding image Rotation), but something is
missing
- reading most of the Draw code.
- comparing Writer and Draw shells.
Long term plan :
Make it work.
Are you interested to share / contribute to the task with me ?
Regards,
Erid
