[orca-list] Orca and better Libre office presentation support in Orca



Dear developers,
I would like to ask You, if Python or C++ libraries or Libreoffice methods enable You to construct new algorithm, which will inform blind user, if text inside slide exceeded The allowed line items. Orca can now inform user, that text would had to be fivided and that next line of text have to be created. But Orca can not inform user, that line rate is too long in The context of The font type and font size. Jaws can do that. So what about triing to incorporate this mathematic algorithm to Orca?
The mathematic formula would had to work with The following variables.
Font size, font type, ARIAL, Times new roman ETC, and The fact, if The text filled whole screen or no.
The discussion would include The following.
Is it possible to do that only by using information available from Libre office presentation and at-spi, or somethink like a display chaining driverwould had to exist for Linux distributions? Or Jaws really uses mathematic formulas to calculate if presentation is visible on The screen normally? Jaws is also using other calculations, such as calculation, which inform users, if The tile is overlapping The text. Do You think, that those complex calcalculations, which Jaws uses can be performed only because Jaws uses Video intercept? Or Microsoft Office object model contain some methods which enable programmers to develop those complex algorithms? In fact, Jawsws servers like a virtual human eye when blind user work with Powerpoint. And because there are issues with Windows 64 bit editions while using Jaws, it would be great, if Orca would contain those techniques. Because visually impaired users would be able to write nice Powerpoint presentations, atleast The texts would never overlap other parts of presentations, slides would contain only allowed number of lines.
What do YOu think about my complex plea?
Can Python and dependent Python components allow those complex calculations?
