            Bug ID: 100596
           Summary: Would like to be able to create and edit block arcs
                    numerically.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.0.6.2 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mattison.compu...@yahoo.com

I find that creating and modifying a block arc is quite difficult.  I actually
could not with reasonable effort get what I wanted.  I had to settle for small
triangles over big triangles, and I had to make circles and diameters, and work
off intersections to get something close to what I really wanted.  Even for
that, I had to review geometry and trigonometry lessons and use a hand
calculator.  The results has overlaps, gaps, and other imperfect matches.

My request is to provide GUIs for creating and editing block arcs.  User inputs
would be:
* the coordinates of the center of the block arc;
* the inner radius of the block arc;
* the outer radius of the block arc;
* the orientation (an angle) of one edge of the block arc; and
* the angle through which the block arc extends.
A resolution of 600 dots per inch is common in today's printers; the best have
even finer resolution.  So the GUI inputs should retain at least 4 decimal
places.
