I would suggest on developing smart art feature for LibreOffice.

Smart art tools are meant for separating content from presentation. The feature
commonly takes a tree of items defined by user and presents it using pre-set
rules. The benefit for users is that they can focus on creating conceptual
parts of content production, and the manually very time consuming drawing part
is automated. The feature is extremely powerful in several situations. Also it
would be possible to theme, change the used template on the fly, and convert it
into ordinary drawing object group for slight touching.

Common examples:
* Organizational charts
* Matrix diagrams
* Venn diagrams
* Process diagrams
* Weighted network diagrams
