Hi all,
Hi Regina,
user often ask why they cannot rotate pictures in Writer, e.g issue
3545. There exists a tip to copy a picture from Draw to Writer, then it
can be rotated. But that Draw-picture is different from a Writer-
picture.
I have made a table to collect the differences between Writer-pictures
and Draw-pictures.
Thanks a lot !
FYI, there was a little mismatch with the issue number, and I fixed it on
the wiki
It is currently in my personal area on the Media-wiki. If you find it
useful and you know a suitable place, please tell me where to put it.
I think it it the right location. Let's wait for other opinions though

That's a very good idea. As you probably read in the issue, I took over the
task, and I'll use this wiki page to report any progress and step done.
The idea is, as discussed with Oliver and Armin, to reuse some Draw
features in Writer, like (image rotation). There is a lot to do and any
help is welcome.
Armin's and my idea is mainly removing the Writer implementation for
images/pictures, introduce all its features missing in the Drawing Layer
implementation for images/pictures and use the Drawing Layer implementation
for images/pictures in Writer. Our idea is quite old, but we never got the
resources to work on it. Unfortunately, all the work we had done in
preparation is lost. This lost work mainly covers something like you Regina
had done. It summarized all the features of the Writer implementation which
are currently not available in the Drawing Layer implementation. It also
contained some planning of the corresponding implementation. But, it is
lost and needs to be done again.
Is it a CWS? If so, it might not really be lost. You will have to ask about
the specific CWS, you may be surprised.
Unfortunately not. But I have found our wiki page -
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/Unification_of_Graphic_Objects_and_Embedded_Objects
There is some work in CWS swrefactordlusage02 which I have started. But this
stuff is becoming to old and should be redone on the current code base from my
point of view.
Best regards, Oliver.
