Chapter 6: Creating Drawings with Draw

Arranging and Aligning Objects

Arranging Objects

Where objects are overlapping and the position of the individual

objects in the foreground or background must be changed, use

either the context menu commands, or use the icons on the

Arrange floating toolbar.

• Click on the object which is to move either in front of or behind other objects. Then click

on one of the icons in the upper row of the Arrange floating toolbar, for example, to move

the object completely to the back. To position it directly behind another object, click the

Behind Object icon. Then click on the object behind which the current object is to be

positioned. This effect will only be seen if the objects are presently overlapping or are

moved to do so later.

• Select two objects at the same time by holding down the Shift key and clicking the

objects, one after the other, and then clicking Reverse. This switches the order of the two

objects.

Aligning Objects

Position objects anywhere using the mouse. However, to

position an object at exactly the upper margin of a slide,

for instance, or centre two objects vertically above each

other, use the icons on the Alignment floating toolbar.

• If an individual object is selected and then one of the icons on the Alignment floating

toolbar is clicked, the object is aligned at the page margins. Two or more objects selected

together, will be aligned to each other.

• A special type of alignment is the Distribution of objects. When, at least, three objects are

selected at once, use the Distribution command. In Impress, this command can be found

in the context menu, while in Draw it is found as an option in the Modify menu.

The selected objects are distributed so that their borders or midpoints are the same distance

apart. The two objects that are the horizontally or vertically farthest apart from each other are

fixed points, i.e. immovable. The other objects between the outermost objects can be moved

using this function.

Note: Remember that everywhere in OpenOffice.org a multi-level undo function is available. Activate this function

by clicking the Undo icon on the Standard toolbar or by pressing

Ctrl+Z

. Each time this command is used, it

reverses a previous action.
