Mike Kaganski be205bb214 cool#16078: ODF round-trip of the clip polygon
Carry the GraphicClipPolyPolygon UNO property on graphic-object
shapes through ODF save/reload as a new <coext:graphic-clip-poly>
child of <draw:frame> with the polygon serialised as svg:d (the
same SVG d-path encoding draw:path uses). A new XML_GRAPHIC_CLIP_POLY
token is added in lockstep across xmltoken.hxx, xmltoken.cxx, and
tokens.txt so the XMLTokenEnum and FastParser tables stay aligned.

The element is taken before the frame decides what its shape child is, and
applied when the frame ends: an empty presentation object has no draw:image for
the polygon to follow, so the polygon comes first and the shape it belongs on
does not exist until then. A placeholder saved to ODF came back unclipped
otherwise, which is the shape of file our own save writes.

It goes on the image the frame keeps, which is not always the last one it saw:
a frame with a replacement image holds several, and the ones that lose are
taken off the page and disposed.

Export goes through a new ImpExportGraphicClipPoly helper called
from ImpExportGraphicObjectShape alongside ImpExportSignatureLine
and ImpExportQRCode (under ODFSVER_EXTENDED). Import is handled
in SdXMLFrameShapeContext::createFastChildContext, which is where
<draw:frame> children land - the GraphicObjectShape sub-context is
nested inside that and never sees this sibling directly.

The element is added to the extended ODF schema next to
loext-signatureline and loext-qrcode, so a document carrying it
validates, and is listed in the Collabora ODF extensions notes.

Schemas for Validating ODF Files

Schemas that can be used for validating ODF files

subdirs:

  • mathml2: W3C MathML 2.0 XML Schema (needed for Math embedded objects)
  • odf1.0, odf1.1, odf1.2: official OASIS RelaxNG schemas
  • odf1.3: current OASIS draft ODF 1.3 RelaxNG schema
  • libreoffice: draft ODF schema, with additional LO extensions

The extension schema in libreoffice/ is used by all unit tests if --with-export-validation is given, which is the default.

Notably this means that if you add a new feature to the ODF filters and you add the required unit test for the new feature, then most likely the test will fail with a complaint from the validator; in this case the schema needs to be updated to contain the new elements and attributes.

The extension schema uses the RelaxNG "include" feature to refer to the ODF schema; this means that it only contains those parts of the schema that actually need to be changed - this works well in many cases because the ODF schema is quite well structured with many named patterns, but unfortunately there are a few places where that isn't the case and large chunks needed to be copied to override them.

In the easy case, to add an attribute you just want to search for the corresponding element, which will have a "foo-attlist" named pattern, and then add another attribute like this:

<rng:define name="draw-enhanced-geometry-attlist" combine="interleave"> rng:optional <rng:attribute name="drawooo:sub-view-size"> <rng:ref name="string"/> </rng:attribute> </rng:optional> </rng:define>

Currently only the features that are actually exported in the unit tests have been added to the schema; there is still some work to do here to add everything; the crashtesting script also does ODF validation of all files and now also uses the custom schema.

Unfortunately it turned out that there are a lot of extensions already for which no proposal exists [1], and in many cases not even an entry on the Wiki [2], so clearly something like this extension schema is needed.
