Description Regina Henschel 2021-05-29 21:35:50 UTC 
Created attachment 172445 [details]
Shadow with other direction than possible in the UI

ODF has attributes draw:shadow-offset-x and draw:shadow-offset-y.
Our API has properties ShadowXDistance and ShadowYDistance.
VML has property offset as "x,y"
OOXML has shadow attributes dist (distance) and dir (direction angle).
They all can us arbitrary directions of a shadow.
LibreOffice can even render such shadow, see attached document.

Only the dialog restricts the shadow direction to Top, TopRight, Right, BottomRight, Buttom, BottomLeft, Left, TopLeft and Center.

Therefore my request is to enhance LibreOffice, that all directions are possible for the user in the UI and the exact direction is used on load and save, not only with ODF but with OOXML too.
