 |
|
| Is it possible to define new (binary) operators? I would like to use a custom operator similar to \oplus used in LaTeX. |

I found a message in other forum:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1209&highlight=latex+formula
Someone coded a program which generates a *.png image from LaTeX code. the user only has to drag the generated image in order to be inserted in the document. The original image looks very good, but the new problem is that the image seems to be smoothed when pasted (or inserted) into the document. Is this the default behavior of openoffice? How can I void this "side effect"? |

| Why do you specifically demand that it has to be a custom operator? Why can't you just use the command "oplus" in OOo Math, which is exactly the same as "\oplus" in LaTeX? |

Thanks, I could use oplus in OO.
I tried it similarly with other symbols, \bullet -> bullet and \diamond -> diamond, but it didn't work. Which LaTeX symbols are also "available" in OO? Is there a reference somewhere in internet? |

In the Math help, see Formula Reference Tables. As I say before, you can add new symbols to Math (if you have the font, of course  ), and use these symbols as operators, if you like. |

Thanks, I could use symbols of LaTeX in OO. Fortunately some of the LaTeX fonts are available to the X.org under my Linux distribution.
But there is a problem with "big" symbols (bigoplus, bigcap, etc). It seems that baselines are calculated incorrectly. This symbols are shifted such that they look as the horizontal neighboring symbols were located in the superindex zone:
| Code: | | %bigoplus X ----> %bigoplus^X |
Is such a problem unavoidable? |
