Formatting objects

This chapter describes how to format the graphic objects created with

the available drawing tools.

The formatting of each graphic object, in addition to its size, rotation

and position on the slide, is determined by a number of attributes that

define the line, text and area fill of each object. These attributes

(among others) also contribute to form a graphics style. Although this

chapter discusses the formatting when applied manually to an object,

at the end of this chapter you will be shown how to create, apply,

modify and delete graphics styles.

Formatting lines

In Openoffice.org the term line indicates both a freestanding segment

and the outer edge of a shape. In most cases the properties of the line

you can modify are its style (solid, dashed, invisible, and so on), its

width and its color. All these options can be applied with a few clicks of

the mouse. Select the line you need to format and then use the controls

on the Line and Filling toolbar to select your desired options.

Figure 89: Common line options (style, width, color) highlighted

If you need to fine tune the appearance of a line, choose Format >

Line from the menu bar, or right-click on the line and select Line from

the pop-up menu, or select the Line icon from the Line and Filling

toolbar. These methods open the Line dialog box shown in Figure 90,

where you can set all the properties of the line at once.

The dialog box consists of four pages: Line, Line Styles, Shadow, and

Arrow Styles.

General line settings

The Line tab is where you can set the basic parameters of the line and

is subdivided into four parts:

The Line Properties section (left side) is the most important. It includes

the following parameters:

• Line style: a variety of line styles is available in the drop-down

list, but more can be defined if needed.
