Description sforbes 2004-12-23 15:49:34 UTC
There is no way to control directionality in chart text (legend, title etc.)
This is a problem esp. when mixed Hebrew-Arabic/English or
Hebrew-Arabic/punctuation are used, a common practice in the r2l part of the world.

Notice that prentasis that appear in the text incorrectly flip as well.

Ulf->Soshanna: if I got you right, this issue is about the "Autopilot" for
generating a Chart. Editing the chart you provided (e.g. the title) seems to
work all right for me.
Comment 4 sforbes 2005-01-10 12:37:46 UTC
I didn't see a way to set the directionality of those element when editing the
chart.
Am I missing something?
Comment 5 ulf.stroehler 2005-01-12 15:00:42 UTC
@Soshanna: editing a chart title or axis title I seem to be able to write Hebrew
in an RTL manner and latin text in LTR. If you are looking for more advanced
options regarding text directionality and allignment, pls. specify in detail
what you think is missing. The issue type should probably change to
"enhancement" too.

@Soshanna: No response, so I think you agree with US.
Reset type and target.

Sorry for the late response- I lost some of my bugmail due to HD problems.

I don't see any way to control the directionality of mixed text (Hebrew/Latin or
Hebrew/weak characters).
I am looking for a directionality control, (like the RTL/LTR text formatting
buttons), so I can get the same result in the chart as in the sheet itself.

At the moment, any Hebrew which is mixed with latin characters or weak
characters (numbers, punctuation) is displayed incorrectly in the chart.

Incorrect display---> this is a defect, not an RFE.

IHA->CL: The chart text elements are made from drawing text shapes. As far as I
can see those are lacking the possibility of changing text direction so far. So
this has to be implemented first. Than I can add additional GUI for the chart
afterwards. Thanks a lot.
Comment 9 IngridvdM 2006-03-08 21:39:12 UTC
added me to CC list
Comment 10 ulf.stroehler 2006-03-09 12:59:51 UTC
removed myself from CC-list.
Comment 11 clippka 2006-03-14 14:33:39 UTC
@cl->iha: You can change the text direction at each paragraph with the
"WritingMode" property. I think currently the editengine only supports mixed
"LTR" and "RTL" for different paragraphs, but top down is only changeable for
the whole text. Please consult with the edit engine developers if you need more
features.

This issue still exits in 2.4.0. Please update the issue info and re-target. Thanks.
