Sorry pardon; after some big and painful thrash trying to get RC1 into good shape, I finally took a look at this. First - it is a nice feature to have :-) so good work.

Working on that. Could, I guess, put it into svx or filter, they're both fairly grabbags of shared stuff which all the major app components already depend on.

Hi, yes of course, checks must be added, it's just 'raw code'. Whatever,this function is expected in calc to. I'm coding it in calc for a test, it's the same. But, even if I've been reading a lot of code (thanks to the 'RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM' easy Hack) I've not still completely figured out how to (and where) share the code for both apps.

We want to improve the Draw drawing layer capabilities before binning it out because there are a few things that are useful in Writer. The most important one is to be able to layout anything inside a graphic object in Writer. The reason: in OOXML / docx you can have any kind of content inside a shape (rectangle, ellipse, and so on)... In the Draw drawing layer you can have only simple text, but in Writer you can have this for Fly frames. Having a single way to layout both would be nice and would avoid loosing data in some OOXML files. And of course, each of those (FlyFrames and drawing objects) have a different UNO API with different properties... -- Cédric Bosdonnat LibreOffice hacker http://documentfoundation.org OOo Eclipse Integration developer http://cedric.bosdonnat.free.fr ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Its one of the odd historical things, both writer and the drawing layer have their own different graphics objects. You can do things with one you can't do with the other. Its quite a nuisance alright. Ideally should merge the feature set together and just use one. It might be an interesting thing for you to try and play with. e.g. SdrGrafObj is the key drawing layer graphic class, and SwGfrNode is the key writer graphic class IIRC.
