10.3.7 <draw:path> shape expression underspecified

    XMLWordPrintable

    Details

    • Type: Bug
    • Status: Applied
    • Priority: Major
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Affects Version/s: ODF 1.2 CD 05
    • Fix Version/s: ODF 1.2 CD 06
    • Component/s: Graphics, Part 3 (Schema) [1.2: 1]
    • Labels:
      None
    • Environment:

      This applies to the <draw>path> description as it occurs in ODF 1.2 CD05 Part 1 section 10.3.7

    • Resolution:
      Hide

      Replace the (full) description of 10.3.7 with:

      The <draw:path> element represents a path. A path is a shape with a
      user-defined outline. The outline is defined by the svg:d attribute. (insert svg:d cross-ref)

      Description

      There is no information here on where the path-segment actions are listed and how their start points, end points, control points, and other parameters are found for coordination in the precise specification of the desired path.

      One can presume that the svg:d attribute can have something to do with it. Since draw is bound to a namespace under the authority of the ODF specification, it would be helpful if there was more about how this element and its siblings actually provide the information for the desired shape to be characterized in an OpenDocument Document so that it can be drawn correctly by an OpenDocument Consumer.

      I have no proposal for this. I assume that there is at least one implementation that could be reverse-specified to provide the necessary interoperable specification of the shape feature.
