Mike Kaganski d00d192770 tdf#157028 vcl: write the structure tree into object streams
Turning Tagged PDF on added 2.4 MB to the reporter's document, 2.0 MB of that
its structure tree: 12562 elements, each its own top-level object,
uncompressed, and each costing a further 20 bytes in the cross-reference
table.

The elements go into /Type/ObjStm streams of 200 now, with the parent and ID
trees. The cross-reference has to become a /Type/XRef stream with them,
because a table cannot address an object inside another object. PDF 1.5
introduced both, so a PDF/A-1b file keeps the plain form. So does an encrypted
file, since a string in an object stream shall not be separately encrypted,
and this writer encrypts strings as it builds the object. So does a hybrid
file, because sdext reads the embedded original document out of a trailer.

The reporter's document exported 3157118 bytes tagged before the change and
1086230 after, against 769448 untagged either way. An 8300-row Writer table
exported 4017140 bytes tagged before and 500967 after, against 73183 untagged.

testTdf159066 and testTdf173162 grep the exported bytes for something the
structure tree carries, /Alt< and the /Namespaces array. They inflate the
object streams first now. testListLabelPDFExport counted its List element in
the token stream, and asks GetObjects() for it.

Spreadsheet Application Code

You can dump some information in a dbgutil build:

Shortcuts

CTRL+SHIFT+F12

Dumps the column width of the first 20 columns.

CTRL+SHIFT+F11

Dumps the graphic objects and their position and size in pixel.

CTRL+SHIFT+F6

Dumps the SfxItemSet representing the cell properties' of the current selection as a xml file. The file will be named dump.xml

The Cache Format

ScDocument::StoreTabToCache allows storing the content (not the formatting) of a table to a binary cache format.

The format is column orientated which allows quick serialization of the table.

  • Header:

    • Number of Columns: 64 bit unsigned integer
  • Column:

    • Column Index: 64 bit unsigned integer
    • Column Size: 64 bit unsigned integer
    • For each cell type block a new ColumnBlock
  • ColumnBlock:

    • Start Row: 64 bit unsigned integer
    • Block Size: 64 bit unsigned integer
    • Type: 8 bit unsigned integer
      • 0 : empty
      • 1 : numeric
        • for each cell: 64 bit IEEE 754 double precision value
      • 2 : string
        • for each cell: 32 bit signed string length followed by string length bytes of the string (UTF-8)
      • 3 : formula
        • for each cell: 32 bit signed string length followed by the formula in R1C1 notation as a string

Functions Supporting Wildcards or Regular Expressions

As this comes up every now and then, and rather should be documented in an extra list of the Help system, functions that support Wildcards or Regular Expressions and depend on the setting under Tools -> Options -> Calc -> Calculate are those that in ODF OpenFormula (ODFF) are defined to depend on the HOST-USE-REGULAR-EXPRESSIONS or HOST-USE-WILDCARDS properties, see ODF v1.3 part4 3.4 Host-Defined Behaviors https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/os/part4-formula/OpenDocument-v1.3-os-part4-formula.html#__RefHeading__1017868_715980110
