I asked the questions because color has always to convey a distinct information. However, I could use the LibO green instead of black/gray; not a perfect color for diagrams IMHO.

In a blog post we do not have footnotes. Maybe endnotes. And even in this case we would have to deal with answers like
"Writing technical documents, with diagrams, schematics and mathematical formulas." "Draw schemes for math books, network diagrams, UML schemes, database/software relationships diagrams.But not CAD-drawings." "Creating the schemes of biological processes, which represents the math model behind them." "Creating mathematical constructions and illustrations." "Some things i think can be improved:better performancemore comfortable formula editor and math typesettinggood-looking predefined styles for shapesmaybe some geometric tools like snapping a line to normal or tangent of a curve or circle" "I don't know, I honestly think Libreoffice should partner with Inkscape instead of Draw and Kexi instead of base. Both are great FOSS solutions that compliment LO's superior document and spreadsheet editors. Base is in an embarrassing states (see: AOO level quality), and I always try Draw, get frustrated by the lack of granularity in movement, and switch to Inkscape.In that sense your suggestion to focus on Flow Chart development may make sense here. Maybe combine Math and Draw into one product branding." > By more comprehensive, I mean things like stating that the House Plan is > part of a 3D model, created using LibO.

My hope was that the categorization of use cases (block diagram, vector graphics, presentations/DTP, pixel manipulation) introduced in this article is really innovative and would be a good starting point. > "mathematical Constructions" was something I didn't expect to see.

I was surprised as well. This is one of the curiosities of open ended questions: you get answers that probably come from the fact that people do not know the right solution. The citations above are what the participants said in respect to "mathematical constructions". BTW: Another example of missed functionality is the curved connector. This feature was requested more than once but we have it. Maybe it was introduced in one of the latest releases. That's what I meant with "Some features were demanded by the participants but have been integrated (or are just hidden). Maybe I have overlooked something and still request an existing feature." I "translated" this request into "better handling of curved connector lines". > Do you have a list of all of the different use cases that were provided > in the survey?

My intention was to summarize in terms of use-cases. And the article should contain all high-level things. Not sure if it is exhaustive, but you should be able to get an idea yourself from the results. If you take the text analysis document you may use the auto filter. All files are up to date.
