That's one of the most common things to do with a picture, isn't it? You can easily do it in Draw and then copy it into Writer, but that's also an extra step. I wonder why things behave differently in different pieces of the suite. They talk about how great it is with object oriented programming and that everything so easily can be made to behave the same way everywhere and things like that. What happened to that? Seems like they tried to invent the wheel at least twice here… If Writer just inherited all Draw stuff, then they could drop Draw completely, couldn't they? Just a thought… But I wouldn't know; I'm just a guitar player, knowing absolutely nothing about anything else. -- Best regards Johnny Rosenberg -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

You can easily do it in Draw and then copy it into Writer, but that's also an extra step. Why does a word processor needs the capabilities of an image editing program? I wonder why things behave differently in different pieces of the suite. They talk about how great it is with object oriented programming and that everything so easily can be made to behave the same way everywhere and things like that. What happened to that? Seems like they tried to invent the wheel at least twice here… They behave differently because they are indeed different. The picture inserted in Writer is a GraphicObject (a SwXTextGraphicObject) and the picture copied from Draw is a Shape (a SwXShape). They are designed to behave different. With a GraphicObject you get: ImageMap, Contour, Graphic Style. With a Shape you get rotation and shearing. If Writer just inherited all Draw stuff, then they could drop Draw completely, couldn't they? A Writer-document has an associated drawing page, where all the drawing objects lay. But that is not the essential part of a Writer-Document. And the GraphicObject does not belong to the drawing page. Because a GraphicObject is very different from a Shape rotation needs to be implemented separately. LO does not have its own issue for it, in OOo it is the enhancement request http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3545 Is it really to much effort to use an image editing program to rotate the picture before inserting it in the Writer document?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Flipping a figure 90 degree
The extension says it's only compatible up to OpenOffice 2.3.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Flipping a figure 90 degree
Hi, The extension did not work in my LibreOffice. I think I would just have to follow the old way, rotating the picture in a Draw and paste it on LibreOffice On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 8:38 AM, elcico2001 एल्चिको wrote: > Il 09/04/2011 09:45, Jet Ong ha scritto: > > As far as I know, LibreOffice does not allow this feature.
