In general, TextFrame is a Writer concept, what you want to improve here is the shape text of drawinglayer shapes, I guess. ;-) > Browsing through code in sd/, I haven't found anything that seemed to deal > specifically with text properties. > I suppose most of the responsibility for text features is in some external > module (editeng, by any chance?), but I don't understand where it is that > Draw-specific code makes use of these features. Yes, it's editeng that provides the shape text functionality in Impress/Draw. > Could anyone point to any documentation/code I could look at or could > anyone help me get clarity on this point? include/editeng/eeitem.hxx provides the identifiers for editeng properties, EE_CHAR_GRABBAG and EE_CHAR_CASEMAP are quite recent additions, they may serve as a good example on how to add a new editeng character (i.e. when the property is not for the paragraph, but only for a portion of it) property. That's the document model. Once you are done with that, the next steps are dealing with UNO API, layout, filters, tests, UI -- but one step at a time. :-) Miklos
