Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20794
Some pie charts created with MS Powerpoint not desplayed correctly in OO
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
MS Powerpoint allows to embed charts from MS Graph objects. I imported a MS Powerpoint into OO and the problem is that some pie charts have squares instead of slices. When opening the object with Open or Edit, MS Graph shows the correct image and returning to OO shows the pie chart but with some lines and garbage in the middle. Some other pie charts are shown correctly
Reassigned to Christian.
Please Attach the documents which make this problem, so we can test it/faster to confirm. (Without the documents, we cannot confirm the problem easily/need more time) Don't forget to cut other part of the documents, so the file size is small, but we still able to see the problem.
I created a document with all pie charts in PPT but I can't reproduce the bug. Utomo99 is right, a sample document will help us to reproduce the bug.
Please have a look if the bug still occures with OOo1.1 Please attach a sample document if the bug still occures.
See attached PPT into a ZIP file.
Created attachment 10555 [details] ZIP file containing a PPT file
I can Reproduce the problem on OpenOffice 1.1 (default Install, US), Win XP Pro Sp1. (And MS Office XP Sp2). It is real problem Both pie chart is not displayed in OOo. OOo only show a square.
I can reproduce the bug with the attached document. If you change into the editmode of the pie charts and leave it again they looks ok. Please have a look.
Hi Thorsten, can you please takeover this issue. If you are activating the ole object in a MS Office up from 2000, then the ole objects can be displayed in OOo. The problem seems to be that ole objects created in a older version are making excessive usage of region clipping. Because region clipping can't easily be converted to a device independent solution, we are in big trouble. Currently we are mapping each clipping to a polygon clipping. But due to performance problems I limited the polypolygon clipping so that it is including up to a maximum of WIN_MTF_MAX_POLYPOLYCOUNT (16) polygons. This seems to be the problem.
This can be valueless, but here it goes: I went to Office Depot to print this PPT to a laser color printer (Xerox, I guess) and NO PIE CHART was printed from this specific slide even it was printed using MS Powerpoint. On the other hand, printing this slide to a deskjet printer is correct.
Okay, will take a look. Although Sven's comment suggests something like a draw situation here: either doing it correctly, and blowing mem/time constraints, or doing it as is, within the limits. We'll see.
Along the way, changed prio to 4, regarding the facts as described above.
I change the target
WFM in OOo m223 Chart2 module has fixed this issue?
I cannot reproduce the problem with OOo 3.0 anymore. The problem seems to have vanished.
