Modifying and positioning graphics

OpenOffice.org provides many tools for resizing, modifying, filtering,

and positioning graphics; wrapping text around graphics; and using

graphics as backgrounds and watermarks. These tools are described in

relevant chapters of the other guides. Some sophisticated adjustments

of the graphics are best done in an image manipulation program and

the results brought into OOo, rather than using OOo’s inbuilt tools.

Using the OpenOffice.org Gallery

The Gallery contains objects (graphics and sounds) that you can insert

into your documents. The Gallery is available in all components of

OpenOffice.org.

To open the Gallery, choose Tools > Gallery, or click the Gallery icon

. If the Gallery is open, these choices close it.

Graphics in the Gallery are grouped by themes, such as Bullets, Rulers,

and Backgrounds. You can create other groups or themes.

The box on the left of the gallery window lists the available themes.

Click on a theme to see its contents displayed in the Gallery window.

You can display the Gallery in Icon View (Figure 285) or Detailed View,

and you can hide or show the Gallery by clicking on the Hide button

(similar to the Hide button for the Navigator and the Styles and

Formatting window when they are docked).

By default, the Gallery is docked above the workspace. To expand the

Gallery, position the pointer over the line that divides it from the top of

the workspace. When the pointer changes to parallel lines with arrows,

click and drag downward. The workspace resizes in response.

As for other docked windows, you can “float” the Gallery by moving the

mouse pointer over an edge of the Gallery window, holding down the

Control key, and double-clicking. Repeat this procedure to dock the

Gallery again.
