Chapter 6: Creating Drawings with Draw

Drawing Rectangles and Ellipses and Entering Text

The drawing module in OpenOffice.org (Draw) has many functions for creating and editing

vector graphics. In this section introduces the most commonly used functions.

More detailed information can be found in OpenOffice.org Help.

Open a new drawing document by choosing File > New> Drawing. In addition to the blank

drawing page, notice the main toolbar on the left and the object bar for drawings at the top of

the work area. With the View > Toolbars command, adding the option bar and/or the colour

bar at the bottom edge of the window is easy and useful as shown in the following

illustration:

If these instructions are used to create a presentation document instead of a new drawing

document then notice one of the visible differences between Impress and Draw: The buttons

at the top right above the scroll bar (only in Impress) indicate drawing view while the buttons

at the bottom left indicate the slide view.

Draw and edit vector graphics in the drawing view. The other views, which are only available

in Impress by clicking the buttons at top right, Help create presentations. They are introduced

in the chapter on Impress and are also described in Help.

In the slides view,the user works on the individual slides of the presentation, whereas the

master view allows defining a uniform background for all slides. In addition, the layer view

can be turned on and off as desired. For example, the layer view is where objects that are not

always supposed to be visible can be managed.

The main toolbar contains several floating toolbars. When opened, these toolbars provide

additional related icons. The floating toolbars are indicated by small triangles on icons and

are opened by long-clicking the corresponding icon on the main toolbar until the floating

toolbar appears. When a toolbar is “floating”, it can be moved from its original position

and placed anywhere else in the work area.

Long-click the Rectangle icon to open the floating toolbar and click on the Rectangle

icon. The pointer changes to a cross-hair symbol with a small square.
