Orientation page - Writer
Hello everyone,
I would like begin to modify the AOO code and I think to begin with the
page orientation (Writer).
The idea is to create a button on the toolbar for change the page
orientation with a click.
I would like to know what code manipulates the orientation page in Writer.
Regards.

Sorry for the late response.
I am willing to support you.
Unfortunately, I will concentrate my complete energy on the AOO 4.0
release in the next days. Then I will be on vacation till the end of
July. Afterwards, I hope I have some time for further and deeper support.
I assume you know the UI steps to change the orientation of a single
page. Possible steps are:
- create a new page style with the same attributes as the current one,
but with changed orientation and with following page style set to the
current one
- insert a page break at the first paragraph of the page with applying
the newly created page style
Try to figure out how you can implement such UI steps.
Best regards, Oliver.

Hello Oliver,
I already saw the new sidebar function but the idea is to do one function
(or one default style) for change the orientation of one page without
change the orientation of all pages in a document.
Best regards!

I can help.
Again, I would like to know, if you had a look at the current function
in the new sidebar and how this function relates to the one you have in
mind.
I would also like to know what concrete you have in mind to implement -
it is still unclear to me.
Then I can point you to the corresponding source code and the stuff that
needs to be done.

So, I would like to know if I can program these styles and what part of

Ok but that has always be the way the regular page dialog is built I

May be you have missed some of my words which are:
"In this page property panel you can easily change the page orientation
of the page style which is applied at the current cursor position."
As said, this function changes the page orientation of a page style.
Thus, all pages which have this page style applied will change its
orientation. This will also influence the text flow as the pages will in
general not contain the same content when the orientation is changed.

I would need to see this feature in action, then I will understand it
better as well as learn how they got around the previous explanation
by RGB.
Is the implementation from the current page up to the end of the
document? or is it ONLY that current page.

The new sidebar feature introduced a page property panel which is active
in Writer. In this page property panel you can easily change the page
orientation of the page style which is applied at the current cursor
position.
Is this function the one you want to implement?
If yes, I propose not to duplicate this functionality in a toolbar. May
be you have further ideas how the user experience of this existing
function could be changed/improved.
If not, I would like to ask you to tell more about the function you want
to implement. Thanks in advance.

Draw uses the same paradigm. However you get a message if you want to
apply it to the rest of the 'slides/pages'.
I wouldn't think is too wrong to apply the reverse. Like a dialog
saying if you want to apply it to only the current page.

No. Writer is not a DPT program like Scribus (page layout based), but use
the paradigm of content flow where pages are just a "content containment".
Pages are not "objects" by itself so you cannot select them: it is possible
to classify them with page styles, and group them with page breaks, but
nothing else. Note that this behaviour is not either wrong nor right, it's
just a different way of thinking documents. Writer is best suited when
automated formatting (text books with lots of headings, for example) is
possible, Scribus is best suited when direct control (magazines,
photography books...) of layout elements is a must. For each need, a tool ;)

I found odd that you can select a paragraph or sentence and apply a
specific style, but you cant select a page and apply a specific style,
is there a way that this can be done?

Please, note that on Writer there is no direct formatting for pages, they
can only be formatted through page styles. To insert a different page
layout between two other pages you need to insert two page breaks with
change of page style.
Maybe this feature request is of interest for you ;)

There is an earlier extension to do this at
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/Alba
but I understand it has been rendered inoperable by later code changes in OpenOffice.
Its code may give you some useful hints.
How do you propose to cope with the style changes such an orientation change will involve?
