Re: [libreoffice-design] Survey about Libreoffice Draw

Hallo Heiko,

some aspects are missing:

* Tools besides Layer. They are essential for me. E.g.: Duplicate, Point 
manipulation, interactive gradient, various kind of transparency, 
3D-Scenes, several snap features, alignment, position&size, 
transformations, 3000% zoom, text along path, raster to vector 
converter, master page elements.

* Import and export, e.g. I use Draw for export to svg and to import svg 
and do not use Inkscape.

* What size of drawings are used?

* What is the target medium? usual (home-) printer, print on large paper 
(Din A0) or to plotter, making postcards, prepare for external book 
printing, produce ebooks, prepare drawings for websites,...

* How often does the user need help to perform a task; where does he get 
help.

* What does the user miss in Draw? (e.g. real CMKY, full featured text 
incl. Math formula, easier handling of ...)

* Does the user use another application similar to Draw instead of Draw?



In the current questions there are some terms, which I think should be 
improved:

"Simple outlines": The word "outline" is used for "document structure" 
in Writer and is confusing here.

"wireframes" and "form controls" do not fit together, so the question is 
unclear.

"Flowchart": I would add "organigram" and delete "hierarchical".

"Freeform curves": That is only a very special kind of curve and not the 
most important one. Important are paths and Bezier curves.



I would enumerate the questions in kind k/n (k-th question of n 
questions total)



I'm a Draw power user.

Kind regards
Regina
