--- Comment #12 from Joel Greenyer <jgreen...@gmail.com> ---
This feature is very useful in InkScape and I miss it in LibreOffice since
YEARS. I always wanted to write a feature request for this, but always secretly
hoped that such a simple feature MUST be coming soon---I've yet waited in vain.


I would like to have button in the Page Properties view, Page Format section,
to select "Fit page size to contents". When pressed, it should calculate the
width and height of the contents of the current page and write the result into
the width and height text fields of that dialog. An extra action in the Format
menu to reformat the page based on its contents with one click would be nice as
well.

However, keep in mind one tricky detail, namely that this feature must properly
consider the BORDER THICKNESS of objects as well:
Suppose your page contents is a single rectangle of width X and height Y, and
it has a border thickness T, then the overall visible rectangle has width X+T
and height Y+T, and this is the page format that should, in my opinion, be
calculated by new feature.
