Comment 2 Xisco Faulí 2019-01-23 14:04:30 UTC
it seems the original issue ( https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119480 ) isn't completely fixed either. See https://bz.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=77675.
Reverting the patch fixes this issue...
Comment 3 Xisco Faulí 2019-01-23 15:19:36 UTC
if we change https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/filter/source/msfilter/msdffimp.cxx?r=979aed6b#4586

from

fNumber = basegfx::rad2deg(atan2(double(aStartPt.X() - cent.X()),
double(aStartPt.Y() - cent.Y())) + F_PI); // 0..360.0

to

fNumber = 270.0;

this issue is fixed...
However, I do not understand the code...

Comment 5 Regina Henschel 2019-03-03 20:01:26 UTC
I see nStartAngle 9000 and nEndAngle 9100, which is correct, only rounded. So that part in msdffimp.cxx seems to be OK. But I wonder, why a special treating for mso_sptArc is needed at all and why /svx/source/xoutdev/_xpoly.cxx is used.

The error happens only for a small angle difference. With 2deg difference, the rendering is OK. So it is likely some double <-> int rounding problem.
Comment 6 Regina Henschel 2019-03-05 00:21:30 UTC
The main problem is in the part around filter\source\msfilter\msdffimp.cxx#4606.

There
XPolygon aXPoly( aPolyBoundRect.Center(), aPolyBoundRect.GetWidth() / 2, aPolyBoundRect.GetHeight() / 2, static_cast<sal_uInt16>(nStartAngle) / 10, static_cast<sal_uInt16>(nEndAngle) / 10, true );
is called. It should generate a clockwise Béziercurve from start angle to end angle. But in case of the test document, a wrong curve with a very short arc is generated.

With this short arc, later on in #4608, a rectangle aPolyPieRect with small width is generated. That leads to a far to large fXScale in #4639 and a totally wrong fXOfs in #4627.
As a result the new bounding rectangle and thus size and position of the shape results in the values posX=-927.66cm and width=522.83cm, which you see in the Position&Size dialog in the loaded file.

The solution should be, to do not use these old methods from _xpoly.cxx, but make a solution, where the essential calculation is done with the methods from basegfx.
Comment 7 Regina Henschel 2019-03-05 15:22:16 UTC
Some steps for going from XPolygon to B2DPolygon can be found in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/filter/source/msfilter/msdffimp.cxx?h=aoo/aw080 an older, unfortunately not finished work from Armin.

Testdocument for wrong scaling

The patch in  https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/68941 fixes the underlying problem, that was not detected in the past. Instead a 'shape repair' was tried.

Even after applying the patch the shapes are not correct. Because of the 'shape repair' try an unsuitable scaling is done.

A custom shape has a frame rectangle (which you see as resize handles), which corresponds to the shape width and height as set in the Position&Size dialog. The shape itself is drawn into this rectangle and its outline need not reach the edges of the frame rectangle or it might exceed the frame rectangle. The actually used area is called the bounding box. The current import scales the shape so, that its bounding box gets that size, which is set as frame rectangle in the file.

The attached file shows this error. The frame rectangle should have width 9cm and height 6cm but is wider. Open the file in Word to see the difference to LibreOffice.

So the problem here is not only an accuracy problem, but the scaling method itself has to be fixed.
Comment 9 Regina Henschel 2019-03-12 17:25:02 UTC
I have made a new bug report bug 124029 for the different handling of the viewbox, so this one is only about the signed<->unsigned integer error, handled in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/68941. That makes bug handling easier.
