[SOLVED] VisibleArea seems to be wrong in Draw Makro

[gamp-ba]

Dear community, I would really appriciate any help
The macro is quite sinple:

Sub MainVisiblearea
oContr = ThisComponent.CurrentController
xray ocontr
End Sub

I create in a new drawing a rectangle at point 5.0/5.0 (cm, german) and size also 5.0/5.0
then i set zoom to 100% and move the square to the top left corner.
then i execute the macro. The visible size Startpoint X/Y (result by xray) ist always far greater than 5.0 in X and in Y - and this is wrong. I tested it now very often with differnt settings - visible area in draw is always wrong!

So, could any of my settings be wrong? Or is it ab bug?
Error occurs in OpenOffice 3.0 and in LibreOffice 3.3 on WindowsXP
If it is a bug, to whom should I forward it?

Another indicator, that visible area is wrong could be:
in the abobe mentioned drawing: I create an new rectangle at any position and delete it. I strore the drawing and close it. After opening again the square is moved to the left and up (so it is shifted, i think, this is due to an error in the visiblearea )

Hi,
I don't understand your problem.

Bernard, thanks for the answer. I try it again. the problem is, that in my opinion the result of visiblearea is WRONG. the rectangle is an example, to check it quickly with a simple drawing.
In my example, after shifting the rectangle to the top left position, the visiblearea should be at 5,0 or a little bit less. but it is close to six (5,8 oder so)
the visible area, as I understand , should be in paper coorinates (!) the area, shown in the scroll pane. If you move the scrollbars, the visible area changes. this is correct. my problem is, that the startpoint of the visible area is wrong (not the same, as the ruler and the papaercoordinates shown in the status bar, give.)

so, my example with the rectangle is only to get quickly a drawing to check my question /concern. you could do it with ANY other drawing. it is always the same.

2 weeks ago I startet a thread conderning mouse coordinates versus patercoordinates - with no success. may be, it was to complicated. but now i am sure, that the problem, that it doesn't work is the wrong response to the visible area.

sorry for long explanation, but i hope, it ist clearer now

the background of my macro is to check, if a mouseselection is relatively closer to the left or right side of a selevted geometry

Bernard, thanks a lot indeed.
It works, when i set all the margins to zero (disadvantage is, that i receive the warning "the drawing boarder is out of printable region" (or so, sry for my translation)
All margins greater than zero lead to the error, as far as I tested it (with margins 0,5 or 0,3 or 0,2 or 0,1 cm). I started with a DINA4 format with standard margin of 1cm top, bottom, left and right.
Now I can go an writing my makro after analysing issues for a week und big frustration

What do you think? in my opinion , this is a bug. does it make sense to report it to the devellopers.
And what ist the correct way, to do this?

again thank you very much
Hans
