Aids for positioning objects

Draw has various tools to help you arrange the objects with respect to

each other:

• Moving an object to the front or to the back

• Aligning objects with respect to each other

• Distributing the distance and space between objects

See Chapter 5 (Combining Multiple Objects) in the Draw Guide for

more information.

Inserting and editing pictures

Draw contains a number of functions for editing raster graphics

(bitmaps)—for example, photos and scanned images—including import

and and export as well as conversion from one format to another. Draw

can read in all the usual range of graphic file formats.

You can add pictures from several sources:

• The Gallery—see Chapter 11 (Graphics, the Gallery, and

Fontwork)

• Directly from a scanner (Insert > Picture > Scan)

• Images created by another program, including photographs from

a digitial camera (Insert > Picture > From File)

Draw provides tools for working with bitmap images: the Picture

toolbar and the bitmap image management palette. However, it does

not have the same capabilities as the specialized raster graphics

programs like Adobe Photoshop or The Gimp. See Chapter 6 (Editing

Pictures) in the Draw Guide for details and examples.

Working with 3D objects

Although Draw does not match the functionality of the leading drawing

programs, it does offer a wide array of tools and methods to produce

and edit very good 3D drawings.

Draw offers two types of 3D objects: the ones carried forward from

OOo version 1, 3D bodies, and the ones introduced in version 2, 3D

shapes. Depending on which type you choose, there are different

possibilities for further editing of the object (rotation, illumination,

perspective). Setting up and editing 3D objects is simpler with 3D
