incomplete specification of hatch patterns
------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFFICE-3381
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3381
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Graphics
    Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 05
            Reporter: Andreas Guelzow 
             Fix For: ODF 1.2 CD 06


Currently <draw:hatch> allows for the specification of:
draw:color 19.124.2, (color of the lines)
draw:distance 19.136.2, (distance between the lines)
draw:rotation 19.211 (angle of the hatch lines)
draw:style 19.220.3. (whether single, double or triple)

Moreover when such a hatch style is used one can specify whether the background is solid or transparent via 20.113 draw:fill-hatch-solid.

There are several problems with this:

(a) fill-hatch-solid is clearly as much a characteristic of the hatch as the color of the lines, so it should be part of the draw:hatch rather than being specified when the hatch is being used.

(b) the draw:rotation refers to the hatch lines but in view of the possibility of a double or triple hatch it should properly refer to the hatch axis (a term used in the description of the draw:style of a hatch) since not all lines are parallel.

(c) the draw:rotation gives an angle but nowhere is it specified from which direction the angle is measured and whetehr it is measured clockwise or counterclockwise, ie. what are the directions for 0 degree and 90 degree?

(d) While the background can be solid or transparent there is no method to specify its colour.

(e) There appears to be no way of specifying the thickness of the hatch lines.
