Handling of pictures in Writer
Hi all,
user often ask why they cannot rotate pictures in Writer, e.g issue
3545. There exists a tip to copy a picture from Draw to Writer, then it
can be rotated. But that Draw-picture is different from a Writer- picture.
I have made a table to collect the differences between Writer-pictures
and Draw-pictures. It is currently in my personal area on the
Media-wiki. If you find it useful and you know a suitable place, please
tell me where to put it.

Kind regards
Regina

Me too, I have tried to rotate it by Basic macro. The rotation itself
works, but I do not get the bounding rectangle adapted.

Yes. I'm currently working to get some features form LO to AOO and vs,
which starts with building on Windows. But I'm very interested in all
things connected with Draw and would like to be informed about your
general approach and progress. I like coding, however I'm no
professional. But I can test your work at least, and -ask Armin- usually
find a lot of bugs and deficiencies.
Kind regards
Regina

I am not sure about how the present to our standard users that she/he could
insert two types of images in the Writer.
Armin also mentioned that it may be a solution to provide a rotation function
for Writer images. When the user activates this function the Writer image could
be converted to a Drawing Layer images after the user has been ask in a dialog.
This dialog could then mention also the drawbacks (missing/lost features) of
such a conversion.

Yes, this is also a missing feature for Drawing Layer objects in Writer which
needs to be implemented.
Best regards, Oliver.

I think, first there should be the central code design decision, whether
to drop Writer pictures.
If yes, a plan for transition is needed.
A first step in that transition might be, to allow the user to insert a
picture as Draw-picture from file into Writer, so that the indirect way
over Draw is no longer needed. That can be done with a new dialog for
example.
A next step might be to implement hyperlinks for drawing objects. That
is a missing feature in Draw too.
Kind regards

I am sorry that I can not give some concrete code pointer.
For the stuff regarding extending the Drawing Layer implementation of images I
am not the expert.
For the stuff in Writer, e.g. macro functionality for Writer images, I need to
have a look into the code. I do not have the information at hand as was not
involved in the implementation and the maintaince of these functionalities.

I have to admit again that I do not have such a list of issues/tasks at hand. I
even do not know, if certain issues/tasks exists.
I think the work which Regina started in the wiki is a good beginning.
If I would had time, I would look in the user interface (the format dialogs) of
the Writer images in order to figure out what is possible here. Then I would
compare it this the functionality of Drawing Layer images. I would write down,
what is not possible or in a different way.
One example would be the border lines which are possible for Writer images which
are not possible for Drawing Layer images.
Afterwards, I would had a deeper look into the ODF of Writer images and Drawing
Layer images to find further stuff which is possible for Writer images and are
not possible in Drawing Layer images. When I am remembering it correct there is
also stuff which in Writer images and Drawing Layer images which are using the
same ODF feature, but in some different way - e.g. border distance.
Based on a hopefully complete list of features missing at the Drawing Layer
implementation from the point of view from the Writer implementation, I would
look at the code details in order to figure out what needs to be implemented for
the Drawing Layer images. Here Armin's expertise would come into the game.
Best regards, Oliver.

Do you really have no direction to point to us ? e.g. some class
name, or something like where in the code or whatever else who could
help ?

I'm not Regina, but my question is still valid : if I had some taks
list, or some pointers in the code, it could reduce the time to
search, and reinvent the wheel.
Could you propose us some fast tasks list, or anything like a
description ... or ... ?
Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately not. But I have found our wiki page -
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/Unification_of_Graphic_Objects_and_Embedded_Objects
There is some work in CWS swrefactordlusage02 which I have started. But this
stuff is becoming to old and should be redone on the current code base from my
point of view.

Is it a CWS? If so, it might not really be lost. You will have to ask about the specific CWS, you may be surprised.

OK.
This is really informative, and more precise. I'll everything
carefully, to check the concerned files and I'll try to improve the
content iteratively.
@Regina : is it ok to start from that page ? Next step could be to
create a documentation of the concerned code with Doxygen (e.g.) ?

The work is not completely lost.
I have found the wiki page
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/Unification_of_Graphic_Objects_and_Embedded_Objects
It contains more or less the summary of the ideas from Armin, Oliver
Specht, Henning Brinkmann and myself regarding our idea to remove the
Writer implementation for pictures/images/graphics and embedded object
in favor of the Drawing Layer implementations.
There are also given some details on the planned implementation.

Armin's and my idea is mainly removing the Writer implementation for
images/pictures, introduce all its features missing in the Drawing Layer
implementation for images/pictures and use the Drawing Layer implementation for
images/pictures in Writer.
Our idea is quite old, but we never got the resources to work on it.
Unfortunately, all the work we had done in preparation is lost. This lost work
mainly covers something like you Regina had done. It summarized all the features
of the Writer implementation which are currently not available in the Drawing
Layer implementation. It also contained some planning of the corresponding
implementation. But, it is lost and needs to be done again.

That's a very good idea. As you probably read in the issue, I took
over the task, and I'll use this wiki page to report any progress and
step done.
The idea is, as discussed with Oliver and Armin, to reuse some Draw
features in Writer, like (image rotation). There is a lot to do and
any help is welcome.
Current work in progress :
- I expermiented some hack (adding image Rotation), but something is
missing
- reading most of the Draw code.
- comparing Writer and Draw shells.
Long term plan :
Make it work.
Are you interested to share / contribute to the task with me ?
Regards,
Erid
