[libreoffice-documentation] Calc Guide?
Work on the Calc Guide seems to have stalled, or gone into the very, very slow going category for those chapters that I'm aware are being worked on. We need people to take Chapter 14 and Appendix C. Both should be fairly easy to check. If you have problems with replacing screenshots in Ch14, just mark which ones need replacement, and make any necessary changes to the text. Would really be nice to get this book done this year, don't you think? --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-documentation] 3D scenes in Draw
I am rewriting Chapter 7 Working with 3D Objects using comments from Regina and the original OpenOffice versions of the chapter in English and German, but I require some help. A 3D scene is created when you create a 3D object object from body rotation or conversion of a 2D object, or after placing a ready-made 3D shape into your drawing. When you select this 3D scene, you can then use the function Enter Group, but I can see no benefit from this. To explain, if you create a group of 2D objects, you can enter the group to edit an individual object within that group. However, you can individually edit a 3D scene within a drawing without having to use the Enter Groupfunction. You can see why I am puzzled about having Enter Groupfunction available for 3D scenes. If there is anyone out there who knows the reasons for this function with 3D scenes, please let me know.

Hi Peter, PeeWee schrieb: I am rewriting Chapter 7 Working with 3D Objects using comments from Regina and the original OpenOffice versions of the chapter in English and German, but I require some help. A 3D scene is created when you create a 3D object object from body rotation or conversion of a 2D object The result is a body of rotation (German Rotationskörper), that is a fixed mathematical term. You do not rotate the body but a 2D shape. , or after placing a ready-made 3D shape into your drawing. When you select this 3D scene, you can then use the function Enter Group, but I can see no benefit from this. If you are inside the group (=scene), you can click on each individual object and manipulate it, for example rotate it or shift it right or left. To explain, if you create a group of 2D objects, you can enter the group to edit an individual object within that group. However, you can individually edit a 3D scene within a drawing without having to use the Enter Groupfunction. You can see why I am puzzled about having Enter Groupfunction available for 3D scenes. If there is anyone out there who knows the reasons for this function with 3D scenes, please let me know. It seems, that you never got a scene, with more than one object. Try this: Draw a rectangle and then a heart on the side of it. Mark both together and call Convert To 3D. Now you have a scene with two objects in it. Enter it, click on one object and shift or rotate it. In the German version (or look at http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Draw_Guide/Examples_for_your_own_experiments) is a chapter with examples. It shows examples with more than one object in the scene too. The German version (or look at http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Draw_Guide/Combining_objects_in_3D_scenes) has in addition a section, which explains how to get an additional object into an already existing scene. It is a rich 3D engine but a very poor UI.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Calc Guide?
Mark, You can get it here without needing a login. I'll check later and set up an account for you at ODFAuthors if you don't already have one; that is where you should return the edited file. You can also return it directly to me if you have any problem with the website. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/d/d5/CG3414-CustomizingCalc.odt --Jean On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 9:31 PM, Mark Morin mdmp...@gmail.com wrote: Tell me how to access the document and I'll give it a shot. mark On 10/16/2013 5:13 AM, Jean Weber wrote: Work on the Calc Guide seems to have stalled, or gone into the very, very slow going category for those chapters that I'm aware are being worked on.

I have replaced screen captures for 158 161 with English equivalents. The existing image in 170 is language neutral.
