Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 88409
Vertical alignment of matrices
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:54:45 UTC
Hello! We have two matrixes which have corresponding sizes for desired mathematical operation. In my example (look the attachment) I used popular case: square matrix is multiplied by a vector. In this case, 4, 5, 6 and b (middle horizontal items) should stay on the same line. Math aligns both matrixes by their centers, but it isn't correct. The task is to show Math, that this two matrixes depend one from another. Then Math should align both matrixes correctly - by their middle horizontal items. The same situation - while using more than two matrixes and using another mathematical operations.
Created attachment 52975 [details] Example
One more comment to the first message. Not only middle horizontal items should stay on the same line but the other ones too. So, 1, 2, 3 and a should stay on the same line; 7, 8, 9 and fraction c/d - too. After that both matrixes should have the same height. Hence, brackets (if needed) will too.
Issue confirmed + me on CC The maths objects are turned into pictures, and pictures are centered, not their content. FYI, there is a work in progress, who aims to solve unaligned formulas, and matrix is one case through other. Thanks to use OpenOffice.org aqua btw ;-)
MRU->TL: could you please make an evaluation if this could be possible for the formula parser? Thanks!
