Description Tamás Zolnai 2017-08-10 09:50:06 UTC 
Description:
I added text rotation feature to Impress tables for MSO compatibility in
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100926. Now it works only by importing text rotation from PPTX / ODP or set via API, but not available on the GUI. This text rotation is similar to character rotation (in Writer), has only two values: 90° and 270°, so we might use the same radio button design for this text rotation. The question is where this option should be added, since I can't see a suitable place in the Impress' Table Properties dialog.

Steps to Reproduce:
.

Actual Results:  
No option for text rotation inside an impress table.

Expected Results:
We should be able to set text rotation on GUI.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

How about radiobuttons in the Character dialog like we have in Writer? And if the feature is used frequently, what I doubt, quick access with toogle buttons in an extra submenu could be handy. Though Rotate is already used for objects.

Suggestion for the UI given in c3, likely a simple easyhack.
Comment 5 Tamás Zolnai 2019-04-01 08:27:55 UTC 
Developer evaluation is done: not an easy hack.
