Convert to bitmap
All drawing objects are vector graphics. Use the command Convert > To Bitmap
from the context menu to convert a vector graphic to a raster graphic. Draw creates
the raster graphic in PNG format with a color depth of 24 bits. Unfortunately any
transparency effects which were created in the vector graphic are lost in this
conversion, although the PNG format used in Draw does support transparency. Only
if you use the eyedropper tool to set transparency will an Alpha channel also be
produced.
To determine the height and width of the converted graphic (number of pixels), Draw
considers the dpi setting of the operating system for the screen and the percentage
scaling factor set under Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > View in the section
User Interface.
Example:
Width of vector graphic: 1.5 inch
Monitor setting of operating system: 96 dpi ( = 96 dots per inch)
Scaling 130 %
Calculation: 1.5 inch x 96 dpi *130% = 187 pixels
The actual number of pixels will vary somewhat from this value due to rounding.
When the format permits, Draw uses a dpi value (in this case 125 dpi) which permits
the calculation to be reversed and the picture with this pixel value reproduced with
the correct width of 1.5 inch.
Print options with raster graphics
If you have only a black and white printer or are experiencing problems with
printing, you should check the following settings.
You can set up printing so that all text and all graphics are printed in grayscale or
black and white. The general settings are in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org
Draw > Print in the section Quality (see Figure 126). To set these for the current
document only, use Options in the Print dialog (File > Print). With both Black/white
printing and Grayscale printing, no background is printed.
Other options are in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Print (see Figure 127).
They relate to page options (scaling) and other printing variables. They affect the size
of the print file and the time taken to print the document. With most modern systems
you can simply accept the defaults. As different operating systems and printers have
their own requirements, you need to tailor the settings to your particular site
conditions. Refer to the Help file for more information.
