Example of Default DRAW and WRITER Dimensions

@Rainer Bielefeld

Thank you for your desire for clarification. An example PNG image is attached
called, "DRAW SVG Picture in WRITER Dimensions.png".

Please note that the diamond shape, in this case, is not relevant to the
potential problem; any shape or image(s) will be affected. If you look at the
attached image, you will see that the png shows small greenish squares (handle
bars) that depict the dimension of the "view box" which contains the diamond
shape or other shapes as desired. An ORANGE colored ellipse depicts the lower
boundary of the default dimensions of the "view box" area as supplied by DRAW.
The RED colored rectangle shows an approximation of the default page dimensions
within WRITER. 

The potential problems occur when the default DRAW "view box" size is inserted
into the default page size of WRITER. The inserted "image" does not fit so the
"view box" must be re-sized within WRITER, and as discussed in various BUGs
(like Bug 43063, Bug 43065, and others) the inserted image would be distorted
to fill the "page." This is particularly problematic when using SVG because in
LibreOffice the SVG will, among other things, be longer than desired when made
to "fit." If a user tries to maintain the inserted image dimensions then the
"view box" will expand beyond the "page" dimension, so other problems
arise--like cropping. 

In essence, this BUG asks if the default DRAW dimensions are arbitrary? If the
dimensions used are arbitrary then please make DRAW's default dimensions match
WRITER's default page dimensions. Therefore images can easily fit into
LibreOffice and be used in a variety of ways including but not limited to
Landscape and Portrait pages without distorting the desired images. In
addition, resizing the images can maintain the default page dimensions in
scale.
