Bug ID: 170787
Summary: Working with matrices is unwieldy and confusing
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Formula Editor
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Since matrices in the formula editor are only formatted by # and ## delimiters,
it is difficult to keep track of rows and columns.
There is no standard function to create symmetric, diagonal or unit matrices.
Wishlist:
- There should be a dialog that lays out the matrix in rows and columns
- It should be possible to create and edit symmetric, diagonal and unit
matrices with standard elements, e.g. x_11, x_12, ...
Possible implementation:
- Right-clicking on MATRIX or STACK brings up a new dialog
- The dialog lays out the matrix in rows and columns
- The dialog allows adding and removing rows and columns
- The dialog allows selecting symmetric, diagonal or unit matrix type and
enforces it in the layout
- When inserting a new MATRIX or STACK from the elements menu, the new dialog
pops up and allows to fill the matrix with standard elements
