Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 74701
Conversion from/to Map Units is currently not directly possible
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:31:14 UTC
Currently there is no direct way to convert "mm/100 sizes" to MAP AppFont units. A developer has to retrieve a conversion factor by himself which is annoying. However there are conceivable use cases where this is needed. For example after getting the preferred size() at the control (interface XLayoutConstrains, method getPreferredSize()) a developer will want to apply this size at his controlmodel that only supports MAP AppFont units
