For more accurate resizing, use either the Crop page of the Picture dialog box

(Figure 263) or, for images, the Type page of the Picture dialog box. On the Crop

page you can either adjust the following settings or use the settings in the Crop

section as described on page 245.

• Scale Width and Height: specify in percentages the scaling of the picture.

The size of the image changes accordingly. For a scaled resizing, both values

should be identical.

• Image size: specify the size of the image in your preferred unit of

measurement. The image enlarges or shrinks accordingly.

• Original size button: when clicked, restores the image to its original size.

In the Type page of the Picture dialog box, select the Relative option to toggle

between percentage and actual dimension. For a scaled resizing, select the Keep

ratio option. As for the Crop page, clicking on the Original Size button restores

the original image size.

Rotating a picture

Writer does not provide a tool for rotating a picture; however, there is a simple

workaround:

1) Open a new Draw or Impress document (File > New > Drawing or File >

New > Presentation).

2) Insert the image you want to rotate. You can use any of the mechanisms

described in “Adding images to a document” on page 238, although there are

some slight variations in the position of the menu entries and icons.

3) Select the image, then in the Drawing toolbar (shown by default at the bottom

of the window in Impress and Draw), select the Rotate icon from the

Effects tear-off toolbar .

4) Rotate the image as desired. Use the red handles at the corners of the picture

and move the mouse in the direction you wish to rotate. By default the picture

rotates around its center (indicated by a black crosshair), but you can change

the pivot point by moving the black crosshair to the desired rotation center.

Tip

To restrict the rotation angle to multiples of 15 degrees keep the Shift

key pressed while rotating the image.

5) Select the rotated picture by pressing Ctrl+A, then copy the image to the

clipboard with Ctrl+C.

6) Finish by going back to the location of the Writer document where the image is

to be inserted and pressing Ctrl+V.

Other settings

The Picture dialog box (Figure 263) consists of eight pages. The Crop page was

described on page 245, while the use of the Type and the Wrap pages is explained in

“Positioning graphics within the text” on page 251. The other pages serve the

following purposes:

• Options: use this page to give the picture a descriptive name (as you want it

to appear in the Navigator), display alternative text when the mouse hovers

over the picture, and protect some of the picture settings from accidental
