The feature itself works. Currently LibreOffice writes the attribute smil:by. The values given there are added to the existing value of the animated attribute, here "scale". An unscaled shape has a scale value of 1. With the UI in LO 3.5.4.2 a setting of "vertical tiny" is written as smil:by="0,0.25". The result is, that the new scale becomes 1.0+0.0=1.0 in x-direction and 1.0+0.25=1.25 in y-direction. The value of the scale-attribute is a factor, so the resulting shape is 125% of the original shape in vertical direction. The UI in current master, after fix for <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED FIXED - FORMATTING: grow / shrink custom animation effect still missing" href="show_bug.cgi?id=48918">bug 48918</a>, is worse. It writes smil:by="0,0" for that. The correct value for getting a shape which is shrunken to 25% of the original size in vertical direction would be smil:by="0,-0.75". The current UI is bad and therefore I had warned in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED FIXED - FORMATTING: grow / shrink custom animation effect still missing" href="show_bug.cgi?id=48918">bug 48918</a> to simple reactivate it. The UI needs to give the ability to set grow/shrink with (nearly) arbitrary values and independent for x- and y-direction. Instead of writing the smil:by attribute it would be possible to use the smil:to attribute as well. That would result in smil:to="1,0.25" for the above example. I will attach two examples, which show, that LibreOffice can interpret the smil:by attribute with negative values and the smil:to attribute as well. Only the UI is inadequate.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
