Thank-you.  I showed it in my June 26 attachment for completeness.  Whether
everything is in one dialog/tab or in separate windows/tabs - do what works
best, what the majority of users want, what's simplest and most robust.  Be
consistent across all shapes.

Bill.

In the longer term, I also am wanting a more general solution.  But I thought
it easier and wiser to do one shape first.  Once that is working well, the
others should be easier.  In the long term, I'm looking for:
* circular arcs created/edited by the user by entering in a GUI the center, the
radius, the start angle, and either the central angle or the end angle.
* elliptical arcs created/edited by the user by entering in a GUI the center,
the semi-major and semi-minor axes, the angle of rotation for the semi-major
axis, the start angle, and either the central angle or the end angle.
* circles created/edited by the user by entering in a GUI the center and the
radius.
* ellipses created/edited by the user by entering in a GUI the center, the
semi-major and semi-minor axes, and the angle of rotation for the semi-major
axis.
* rectangles created/edited by the user by entering in a GUI the center, the
length, the width, and the angle of rotation.
* squares created/edited by the user by entering the center, the length of a
side, and the angle of rotation.
* regular polygons created/edited by the user by entering the center, the
number of sides (or vertices), the distance from the center to either a vertex
or the mid-point of a side, and the angle of rotation.  (A square could be a
special case of this.)
* stars created/edited by the user by entering the center, the number of
points, the distance from the center to an inner point, the distance from the
center to an outer point, and the angle of rotation.
Other shapes can be done appropriately.  The behavior I'm wanting is that when
I want to create a new instance of a shape, I click the shape in the window
area to the left of the document and its ruler, the GUI for me to enter the
appropriate numbers would by default pop up.  I would not do any clicking or
dragging in the document.  Likewise, to edit an instance of a shape, I click
that shape in the document, and then use the right mouse button to bring up the
floating menu, and from there select the GUI for editing the shape instance. 
Again, I would not do any dragging in the document.  I should be able to change
a preference value to choose between number entry and clicking/dragging to
create/edit shape instances.

Thank-you for the attachment.  I'll give it a try, but I've never tried using
macros before, so this will take some time.

Don't know how else to call the space between the actual grid/snap lines. I
mean the distance between right edge of one column and the left edge of the
next one.

--- Comment #5 from Paul  ---
Whether it's a bug or a feature request, I don't know or care much, and I don't
think this platform supports formal feature requests in any case. While I
appreciate everyone's contributions here, what I do care about is that a good
idea is shelved because it doesn't fit the platform's strict technical
definition. That is an opportunity missed and will discourage further
participation.

LibreOffice calls this feature snaplines. There are plenty of how-to's and
guides, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRx0GBF7OyU

Okay, so lets talk about this enhancement in bug 100780 

> And the default 5px snap range is on a high DPI monitor, like a MacBook with
> more than 200ppi, a lot to small!
> May be this should be scaled on high DPI monitors?

And this one goes to bug 100781

Question to UX: Should we change the default for Tools > Options > LibreOffice
Draw > Grid "To object frame" and "To object points" and check both by default?

[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 34551] FORMATTING: Option "Rotate fill effect with shape" not available

[bugzilla-daemon]

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34551

Created attachment 126085

"Rotate with shape" easyhack

(In reply to jan iversen from comment #12)
> see comment #11

Agreeing on comment 11 it's still an EASYHACK. having "[ ] Rotate with shape"
checked, the gradient's value for angle is adjusted to the object rotation. 

Add a checkbox to area dialog, read its state on rotation, and modify the
gradient angle continuously if checked.

This easyhack would work on gradient only, but could be applied to hatching as
well. Of course it's better to have an option with the rotation input that
affects all area styles. But this sounds more difficult to me.

The mockup is just a rough idea, the arrangement is not well done.

As the our standard is not the default it could be treated as a bug. The issue
results from the fact that users coming from other office suites wonder where
the cursor has been gone on ctrl+arrow.
