[libreoffice-users] How to arrange figures on page (table?)
I normally use tables to arrange figures within a page (i.e., a 2col x 1 row for 2 figures) The problem is that normally figures get reshaped (and distorted) to fit the cell, while what I would like is to get the cell shape to fit the figure. How can I do it? Also, is there a better way to arrange figures in a page? I've tried using columns, but I have the same problem: figures get reshaped and do not keep their width x height ratio.

A lot of scientists and engineers, if they use any scripting/programming languages for software automation etc. tend to prefer languages that provide an interactive commandline interpreter, besides other criteria that VBA doesn't fulfil.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS raised prices so people will now start renting their office products instead
Most features one needs have been include in office suites since the some time in the 90's. I can not think of a feature that I want see implemented that is not already implemented. Objection. instead of braindeadly cloning MS features, which are mostly based on cerebral flatulances emanating from product managers and similar pointy-haired lifeforms, free software should imho instead demonstrate how to increase user productivity by focusing on intelligent functional concepts. For example: - genuine structure markup, like e.g. Wordperfect or Framemaker provide. Instead of the spaghetti document model of MS Word. - readable typesetting, such as e.g. LaTeX provides. - possibilities to structure spreadsheets (like e.g. Lotus 1-2-3 did or Quantrix Modeler still provides), use symbolic variable names (same examples to follow) and a reasonably human-readable formula syntax instead of the nestable-functional spaghetti mess à la Excel. - actually useful formatting concepts for presentations like e.g. LaTeX Beamer provides. - etc. and so on Sincerely, Wolfgang -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

+1 Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS raised prices so people will now start renting their office products instead
HI :) +1 It might be nice to have an Extension that allows people to import LaTeX or have a program that can export a LaTeX document to Odf but it's not something that many people would use. I doubt it would even be usefully possible. A lot of the advantage of the format would be lost when converting it. A far better example than my stupid earlier one of spell checkers. Many of us have probably never even heard of LaTeX but are somewhat reliant on decent spell checkers (ie NOT the MS ones).

I also set the alignment in the frame to Center. The figure is anchored as a character. This permits me to place two figures into the frame and have the figures centered. When creating the frame, make sure it is larger than the figure or figures that it will contain. If it is one figure, right click the figure and select Position and Size to see what its dimensions are. Then right click the border of the frame and select Position and Size. If necessary, adjust the size of the frame to match the size of the frame or frames. I have a paragraph style which has Center as its alignment. This places the figure in the center horizontally. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Sincerely, Wolfgang As an engineer, now retired, I used BASIC for many years, then took a class in Pascal and wrote some code in Pascal. You are correct-- all I wanted, in almost all cases, was command-line input and screen or print (or both) output. I first wrote BASIC on a teletype machine connected by acoustic modem to a mainframe somewhere in Texas. Eventually I went to work for an outfit that had an HP desktop-- a great big machine about 3 feet high that saved files on cassette tape, and used HP-BASIC, which was a bit more powerful than the standard. Finally there was a company that had a CPM machine, and I could do standard BASIC in house. That's also where I first wrote Pascal. It wasn't Borland, it was somebody else's, I don't remember the name. When PCs became affordable, Borland's Pascal came out, and it was nice, especially at first, before they complicated it! The nearest thing I ever got to graphics was a batch of xxx pr *** marks printed on a sheet of paper! Crude graphics indeed, but you could see the general shape of a filter characteristic. I never wanted to learn Visual Basic or the Pascal equivalent--I forget what it was called. I was too busy doing engineering, and the tool that I had was sufficient at the time. That's not to say that I didn't use commercial graphical programs when they came out. I made a great deal of use of them, but I also realized that a whole lot of hours and a lot of abstruse math went into them, and that's not what I was there to do. EEsof's Touchstone and the AutoCAD programs saved a tremendous amount of time and breadboarding, and I'm sure they paid for themselves, even at their exorbitant prices. --doug -- Blessed are the peacekeepers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

If a figure is a drawing of some type, you need to know its dimensions. Then you can select the size of the frame to match its size. If the figure is a graphics file, you can insert it into the frame. Then right click it. Select Picture from the context menu. When the Picture dialog opens, click the Original Size button.

Sincerely, Wolfgang Wolfgang What language one first learns is often determined by what is used in the Introduction to Programming courses and of course when you took the course. I know a few colleges used VB for their introductory course in the States. I know of Canadian university that uses Python. What type of programming you do determines the language you tend use and find in your work place. Whether one learned VB depends on ones situation and needs. I have done some VBA programming because where I worked need some automation of spreadsheet calculations for Excel spreadsheets. We did light process design and project management in the office I was at. My intro to programming was originally in Fortran IV (aka Fortrash) and later Pascal. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
