Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Draw Guide 3.4

[John Smith <clicksafe@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi Jean

The graphic which has been reverted to the 3.3 image was replaced by me 
because I felt the labelling lines on the image were confusing and 
perhaps even giving wrong interpretation to the dimensions shown.

Lines go from the dimension boxes of the Crop section, to the dimensions 
of the Original image size. Lines also go from the Original image 
dimensions to the dimension boxes of the Image size section.

In the graphic, the lines from the Crop boxes have no relevance to the 
Original image size. The crop settings apply to the inserted image size 
(with Keep scale selected, as in the graphic)

None of these lines has an explanation in the text that ties them 
together. It leaves the reader to interpret them.

If I'm wrong in this and the image is kept, then some other changes are 
needed. For the graphic I used, I altered the crop dimensions, so that 
in the text I could point out that equal cropping has the same effect as 
zooming. This text would need to be modified as the dimensions in the 
graphic are referenced in the text. The scale percentage in the text was 
altered to match the graphic and will need changing too.


All the Figure numbers are missing from the captions and references.

Oops on the colour replacer. I've now altered my set-up to avoid that 
happening again. Apologies.

Regards
John
