            Bug ID: 142559
           Summary: Provide a UI to set arbitrary shadow direction and use
                    them in import and export
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0 alpha1+ Master
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Shadow with other direction than possible in the UI

ODF has attributes draw:shadow-offset-x and draw:shadow-offset-y.
Our API has properties ShadowXDistance and ShadowYDistance.
VML has property offset as "x,y"
OOXML has shadow attributes dist (distance) and dir (direction angle).
They all can us arbitrary directions of a shadow.
LibreOffice can even render such shadow, see attached document.

Only the dialog restricts the shadow direction to Top, TopRight, Right,
BottomRight, Buttom, BottomLeft, Left, TopLeft and Center.

Therefore my request is to enhance LibreOffice, that all directions are
possible for the user in the UI and the exact direction is used on load and
save, not only with ODF but with OOXML too.
