  • 1.  Proposals for attributes that take angle values

    Posted 03-14-2008 12:17
    Dear TC members,
    
    please find at
    
    http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/download.php/27585/08-03-14-angle-attribute-values.odt
    
    a list of proposals that, as already discussed, add angle unit
    identifiers to attribute values that specify angles.
    
    The documents lists all attributes that specify an angle, even if no
    change is required. That is, the document contains a complete list of
    attributes that define angle values (unless I have overseen one).
    
    Where the ODF specification did already specify the unit of an angle,
    this is degrees. Sections 9.5.5.6 and 9.5.8.5 mention "grad", but this
    seems to be a wrong translation of the German term "grad", which is the
    English "degrees".
    
    In SVG's angle data type[1], the angle unit identifier is optional and
    the default is degrees. I suggest that we take over that behavior. It
    matches well to our current definitions of angle values, and allows
    backward compatibility with ODF1.1 documents.
    
    SVG does not allow angle unit identifiers in its path and transform
    attributes. I suggest that we take over that, too.
    
    Best regards
    
    Michael

    There is something called a "grad" in English, which is defined as 1/400th of a circle.  Maybe you call it "gradian" or "gon" in Europe.  I don't know if anyone actually uses this anymore.  I remember seeing it on calculators many years ago.

    Anyone know?

    Michael,
    
    I believe that "radients" should be radians in the description of the
    angle type. Otherwise, it looks okay to me.
    
    I have also have a quick question for everyone. Is there a tool for
    producing the kind of "diff" of the document to which Michael linked?
    It was really nicely formatted.

    Here's the error I found in the angles proposal.
