Hi, Bernd
Had the new concept been published? I haven't found it.
I had had a look at Draw part in AODL and OASIS openoffice
specification.
In the Draw model of AODL only Rectangle and Circle had
been finished.
And in the odf specification 9.2 many other shapes also were
defined .
Should all other shapes been implemented in odf4j?
Other question: When the content.xml were modified, I found
style.xml also changed.
I do not know how association between them is .when I insert
something in the cotent.xml,
wether I should do somting on style.xml?
Thanks & Best Regards.
