Libreoffice table created and how it looks with Calligra.

the table borders are not displayed correctly using Calligra Words, they told me that LO use 1px for the borders and calligra draws the borders... so that is the reason to get a very very swift line in the table...

I want if this could be working good with other software because that is what OpenDocument are, a standard.

I have attached an image of how Calligra make looks the Libreoffice table borders.

"Tools->Options..->View->Use anti-aliasing"

Cheers to C. Boemann.

Should it be closed now?
Comment 3 Maximiliano Castañón 2012-07-15 00:35:12 UTC
Hi Valek, what i mean it looks fine in LibreOffice, but it doesn't looks fine on Calligra. I have antialiasing enabled, thanks Valek.
Comment 4 Maximiliano Castañón 2012-07-16 09:41:38 UTC
Hi again, what they told me of a reason why LO fails was 

"they may do anti aliasing in general, but not for their table borders, and that is why it looks incorrect in writer"

Hopes this help.

so i guess the problem here is not that LO doesn't do anti-aliasing of borders:
it does that, and does it wrongly, which makes borders look fatter
than they should, see e.g. bug 53287.

the problem is that OOo has traditionally interpreted a border width
of 1 twip/0.05 pt specially as a "hairline", which (if my nonexistent
knowledge of all things graphics doesn't betray me) means it renders
these as solid 1 device pixel wide lines.

unfortunately ODF doesn't allow to express a "hairline" border as such,
hence OOo/LO also write 0.05pt (or equivalent 0.002cm) in ODF for these.

apparently Calligra sees this differently, interprets the width literally
and creates a barely visible gray line:

whose bug that is is not clear to me :)

efectively, as far as I understand from them, they explain me what you have expressed, the borders are drawn.
Probably this need to be discussed in the maillist.
