<pre>As reported in <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - The problem of drawing trapezoidal graphs"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=116672">bug 116672</a>, text in flipped/rotated shapes are always upside
down. For a general solution we need the ability to rotate text to any degree.
Similar issue regarding forms was reported in <a class="bz_bug_link

(In reply to Regina Henschel from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=122039#c8">comment #8</a>)
<span class="quote">> Yes, ODF has the feature to rotate the text. But there are two shortcomings:
> 1. LibreOffice has no UI for this feature.
> 2. Import and Export with MS Office does not work. LibreOffice cannot yet
> read/write the OOXML text rotations needed for 180° rotation and MS Office
> cannot read/write the ODF text rotations.
>
> MS Office has the trapezoid, with the smaller top edge in its presets, not
> the one with the smaller edge at bottom, which is currently in LibreOffic's
> preset. I don't know why LibreOffice has it, perhaps it was used in MS 97.
>
> If you use LibreOffice's trapezoid or my trapezoid from the attached file
> and save to pptx, it has no handle, if you open it in PowerPoint. If saved
> to odp, PowerPoint opens it and it has the handle. But if then saved to pptx
> by PowerPoint and opened by LibreOffice, the handle is not usable.

> If LibreOffice opens a pptx file, it generates a shape of type
> "ooxml-trapezoid" with smaller edge at top. If you use this shape in a new
> file, which is then exported into the pptx-format, PowerPoint can read it.
> But if you use it in a new file and save to odp-format, it has at least the

href="show_bug.cgi?id=76334">bug 76334</a>. PowerPoint will not open it.

> Simple adding the trapezoid from my attached file to the preset might be a
> _immediately_ possible solution. All other solutions need a lot of bug
> fixing and/or feature implementation.

> I have not tested Word or Excel. There might be additional problems.</span ></pre>
