Comparison of callouts between LO Impress and MS PowerPoint
In presentations it is very common to use Rounded Rectangle Callouts, specially
when the user is trying to highlight something.
LibreOffice provides the "Rounded Rectangle Callout" tool to draw such shape,
however it calculates the rounded corners in a weird manner. Because of this,
every time one draws a very wide callout the rounded corners end up looking
weird because the start/end points of where the curve is drawn seem out of
place.
See attached ODG for comparison between LO Impress and MS PowerPoint. Notice
that in PowerPoint the points where the curve is drawn are fixed regardless of
the proportion of the callout rectangle. This ends up looking smoother.
Hence, my suggestion is to use the same approach to draw Rounded Rectangle
Callouts in LibreOffice.
