Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-1818) ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34N 1078 : DEFECT REPORT NUMBER JP2-27



    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1818?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13204#action_13204 ] 

Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-1818:
-----------------------------------------

True, the language could be cleaned up a bit but the reason I recommended rejection is that what is a "measure line" for any given shape could be quite different. 

True enough, we could define and illustrate a straight edge "measure line" that would suffice for vertical and horizontal objects that present flat edges. So, how does that work if I want to include a "measure line" with an object that is drawn using a projection where the scale differs depending on where you are on the object? Or I want the "measure line" to match the shape that is is measuring, say a circle? 

The point being that just as there are an infinite variety of shapes there can be an infinite variety of "measure lines" to enable a user to measure them or measure between places on those objects. Should we choose to define such objects there will always be a shape for which our predefined library is insufficient. 

It may be that the original intent was to define a simple vertical/horizontal "measure line" and if so, I suppose we could do that but that may or may not be compatible with how people have treated this up to this point.

> QUALIFIER 	clarification required
> REFERENCES IN DOCUMENT 	Clause 9.2.11
> NATURE OF DEFECT 	
> This clause fails to define what is a measure line.
> The only way to understand this paragraph is to invoke OpenOffice.org and see its measure lines. Such descriptions would be acceptable if they appeared in manuals of OpenOffice.org. But standards should make clear what is meant without relying on commercial implementations.
> SOLUTION PROPOSED BY THE SUBMITTER 	Specify shapes of measure lines with diagrams.
