Example of Centered Images

When you use background bitmaps for shapes, you only have the option to control the X and Y Offset. This allows you to position a image, but not fully scale and position it. I propose we add a 2nd mode that allows "Left", "Right", "Top", and "Bottom" Offsets.

This would give the user greater control. It would also give us better interoperability with MSO.

Sample Word Doc with a bitmap filled shape

I gave a presentation example, but this issue affects all file formats that contain shapes. Here is an example of a Word doc that writer cannot import.

Confirmed.

Comment 4 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-07-10 08:06:43 UTC
The current X and Y offset fields under the position section only work for tiling, so firstly that would need to be fixed to work in non-tiling mode.

Then the offset fields would also need to accept negative values.
"<property name="lower">-500</property>" would need to be added to adjustment2 ID in http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/cui/uiconfig/ui/areatabpage.ui

With these two things fixed, it would provide the Left and Top offsets found in MSO, while the Right and Bottom are already controlled with the Width and Height fields found under the size section.

So if we take attachment 119735 [details] as an example, the bitmap had Left 17%, Right 20%, Top 18% and Bottom -5%. So when loading the document, instead of LO incorrectly setting both autofit and original, it should have set the Width to 63% and the Height to 85%. Also there is a bug in the Width and Height fields presently, as it dont allow a value above 100% when relative is checked, so that would also need to be corrected.

We need developer to evaluate whether the issues pointed out in #c4 are an actual engine limitation or just the result of a poor UI choice. 

Armin, any thoughts on this?

Yes rishabh is looking into this issue, as it was discussed with him for the redesign of the bitmap section of the area fill dialog. Hopefully he'll have an answer for this within a week.

Build ID: f70e0ec6b3c61a7c7caa469949b0ac8016c89854

The  X and Y offset position settings still only work for tiling.
Comment 9 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2017-09-15 08:28:48 UTC
The X/Y Offsets are intended for tiling only and define - together with the tiling start position being relative to TopLeft/BottomRight and more - refinement for that values. It is an older concept shining through. Defining the pos and size inside the to-be-filled object is indeed not really (or easily) possible and would need new definitions.

Still no way to set X and Y Position in "Custom Position" or "Stretched". Only Tiling allows this.
