I just installed calligre as i want to try to create a document with it -

So:
I got a text with several keywords. The keywords symbolize parts of a structure which is circle shaped.
So i want to create a circle with different coloured regions (like from 10° to 50° red and so on) in the middle of the page - and than a text surrounding it with the keywords nearby the region they symbolize.

I already tried this for some minutes with libreoffice and there it can be done - but as i'm a kde fan i wanted to give calligre a try - and hopefully be able to switch fully.

Another question: i am also thinking about only using the right side of the circle + keywords nearby and having the circles left part in the background ((in light grey or so) with the text on top. Can this be done to?

Tried for some time now - but so far i couldn't find out - guess i've got to get used to the gui.
Any hint would be great-

Both yes and no, We can't do it with images it seems.
But I could add a circular shape (geometric shapes - ellipse) and have the text run around that. If you want it to work with an image I guess you could add the image (with transparent parts) on top without having run around the image.

It would be cheating but maybe it could work for you

Could you provide a screenshot to see how it should look like?

Something like this?



As you can see, text margin follows the picture shape. On OOo Writer, it's a two click process.

Well as I said we can do tight runarounght, but just not with transparent parts of an image. But as I explained you can fake it, but it's not a two click process - sorry

Good news is that it shouldn't be all that difficult if someone want to code it. It's not on my todo right now though.

Ok I've fixed it in upcoming Calligra 2.5 (should be part of the beta due out in 10 days)
