Discussion of Work Package 6.3 Other Graphical Content
------------------------------------------------------
The TC unanimously agreed Daniel Vogelheim's proposal for visibility and
edit protection of layers
(http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200306/msg00022.html), with
the modification that "text:display" can have the values
"(always|screen|printer|none)".
The TC also unanimously agreed to Michael Brauer's proposal to replace
"transparency" with "opacity" if used in the context of graphical
content (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200306/msg00023.html).
Discussion of Work Package 7 Business Charts
--------------------------------------------
David Faure made a proposal for business charts
(http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200306/msg00024.html). The
TC agreed to compare this proposal with the existing specification for
business charts and to continue the discussion of business charts after
the comparison is done. The comparison will be made by Daniel Vogelheim,
if possible before the TC meeting on July, the 21th.
The TC also discussed the extensibility of the specification for custom
chart types. One possibility is to replace the chart type enumeration
with a simple string value and to turn the existing enumeration values
into predefined string values. The disadvantage of this solution is that
chart type names might clash. Another possibility is to use URLs as
unique chart names. The TC also discussed whether there is some kind of
reference book for chart types and its names and whether the predefined
chart types should be explained in the specification, for instance by
example images. The discussion will be continued together with the
general chart discussion.
Miscellaneous
-------------
The TC agreed that to continue with a discussion of forms in the next TC
meeting and to return to the business chart discussion afterwards.
New Action Items
----------------
- Daniel Vogelheim: Comparison of the existing chart specification with
David Faure's proposal.
