Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-11-10 01:56:06 UTC
There are many operations that can be done on columns and rows, but there is no easy means of jamming all of these into the toolbar, so i'd like to propose group buttons for columns and rows.

Each group button will have a list of uno commands for:

1) Insert
2) Delete
- separator -
3) Size (Height/Width)
4) Optimal Size
5) Default Size
- separator -
5) Hide
6) Show
7) Fill >
  7a) Down/Right
  7b) Up/Left
  7c) Series
  7d) Random

Additional entries that can be included in the groups include:

8) Page Break
9) Freeze Panes

Hi Yousuf, Is there any ready icon for using that column and row group button or should we design two new buttons?

You can use these icons by linking them in links.txt
column - lc_entirecolumn.png
row - lc_entirerow.png

Since i initially opened this enhancement, we now have uno commands for insert row before and after and insert column before and after, so those should be used.

Maxim has created the necessary framework to make the creation of these group buttons easy, similar to the patch he modified of yours for the freeze split button. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=c3a2fa08763fb38e9325e609420db2f70e428cf0

Just to confirm, two new uno commands need to be created for these group buttons. You may also like to check Maxim's patch where he did this with the conditional formatting buttons. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0e7cd653ea90da388820220bf6a3eb140b57bbd6

Hi Yousuf,

<menu:menu menu:id=".uno:FillCellsMenu">
  <menu:menupopup>
     <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:FillDown"/>
     <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:FillRight"/>
     <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:FillUp"/>
     <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:FillLeft"/>

Should these commands be same for column and row group buttons? They don't gruop by row or column operation.?

Hey Gulsah,

You can leave those out, what is needed is size related entries - row height, optimal height, column width, optimal width.

Laptop is in the shop, so i cant build presently. :( But once the ground work has been done, i can easily tweak it if changes are needed in the xml file.
