Chapter 6: Creating Drawings with Draw

OpenOffice.org Draw can be used to create drawings with different degrees of complexity.

This ranges from a simple drawing to an interactive multi-page document. To create drawings

or graphics, open an empty document and design all the elements by hand, or work with the

templates and sample graphics that can be reached by selecting File > New > Templates and

Documents or directly from from the Gallery, inc the case of graphics.

Draw enables creation and saving vector graphics. These graphics can also be exported as

pixel graphics. Furthermore, it is also possible to insert pixel graphics (bitmaps) into draw

pages at any time.

OpenOffice.org Draw Functions

This section contains an overview of some of the OpenOffice.org Draw capabilities.

Creating and Publishing Vector Graphics

OpenOffice.org Draw is an object-oriented vector graphic drawing program. The objects can

be lines, rectangles, 3D cylinders or other polygons. All objects already have set properties,

such as size, colour of the surfaces, colour of contours, linked files, associated actions when

clicked and much more. Any or all of the properties can be modified at any time.

Because of the vector technology objects can be rotated in any direction and have their size

altered, without unsightly step effects occurring on the edges. Furthermore, as all of the

objects can be controlled individually, they can be moved and overlapped as required.

Creating 3D Objects

Draw does not restrict graphics to two dimensions. Cubes, spheres, cylinders and other 3D

objects, can be created, rotated at will and each object can be illuminated individually by

means of various light sources. These features together with default or freely defined colour

gradients, allow quick and easy creation of eye catching company and Internet presentations.

Manage Organization Charts

OpenOffice.org Draw is object-oriented. The objects could be rectangles, for example,

containing text and linked to each other. If rectangles are moved, connectors will

automatically follow. This makes drawing and maintaining a company or departmental

organizational chart much easier. The connectors can also be freely placed at glue points,

which makes the creation of technical drawings with explanatory texts easier.

Drawing

Make straight lines, free lines, bezier curves and other types of rectangles and geometrical

figures in the usual ways. The 3D functions can be used to create 3D objects such as cubes,

spheres, cylinders, tori and more. Rotate two dimensional contours in the third dimension.

Choose colouring, colouring with bitmap textures, perspectives and/or illumination to create

impressive 3D objects for invitation cards, brochures, business cards and other stationery.

To insert additional elements into a drawing use clipart available in the gallery. It doesn't

matter if they are vector or pixel graphics.
