Antialiasing When Printing
Last modified: 2005-01-15 20:47:52 UTC
Hi! I think that antialiasing of inserted bitmaps when printing in OODraw would be a very helpfull improvment. Let me explain my arguments against "http://sw.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=issues&msgNo=71237". Althougt Gimp and others don't have antialiasing when printing, it is easy to simulate antialiasing by resizing a picture. At present, in order to get antialising, the best way to go seems: 1) Run the Gimp and copy the picture from the OODraw to the Gimp through the clipboard. 2) Resize the picture with the Gimp. 3a) Either copy the pictute from the Gimp to the OODraw throuh the clipboard, which hangs my PC for about 5 minutes and results in a huge object in OODraw OR 3b) copy the picture throught a temporary jpg file. My "ABC" project which is 10MB would grow at least to 40MB. Even saving a 10MB project takes several seconds on my PC ( HDD 10GB, UDMA33, NTFS ). Moreover, resizing 360 pictures in my "ABC" in that way would take many hours. Thus, I think that it would be beneficial to have antialiasing when printing to minimize the project size and maximize effeciency, and it could be either a project option, a picture option, or both. Thank you in advance, Boris Toloknov
