Bug ID: 152079
Summary: Make LO's coordinate precision higher & uniform
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.5.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
In bug 44267, Comment #6, Regina explains that LO Draw has an internal
precision of 10^{-2} mm; and that's the best the UI offers. However, users
often notice objects in Draw/Impress rendered at positions which are not
multiples of this value.
I had the notion that a fix for bug 103322 would also improve/resolve bug
44267, but: 1. It might not have and 2. A different approach was adopted there.
So, we're back to the coordinate precision problem.
Coordinate precision must be made consistent - in ODF support and in the LO
modules. Options:
1. A common limited precision and everything being rounded to it, e.g.
1.1. 10^{-4} mm
1.2 A per-document setting
2. "unlimited" precision expressed by:
2.1 unlimited-length decimals or
2.2 an unlimited-length numerator/denominator pair,
2.3 etc.
3. Floating-point precision
Option 1.1 looks like (?) the easiest to implement. I'm not such a fan of
option 3 since it might have strange repercussions but it may be easier to
implement than the 2.x options.
